Linux won the world. Did Tanenbaum still win the argument? 30 years of containers, VMs and sandboxes are walls around a kernel with none inside. Team Torvalds or Team Tanenbaum?

    What about Xen? I guess it’s going to depend on whether you consider a baremetal hypervisor an OS and virtual machines a form of container, but it does have a microkernel design and is popular in its niche.

    Is the lack of support for containers in, I’m guessing QNX, because of the design making this difficult/impossible or just the result of a lack of popularity?
