I’ve seen this argument play out many times. I believe the next line is: “QNX proved that micro kernels can be fast given clever message passing syscall design.”

“I remember running the QNX demo disc: an entire graphical operating system on a single 1.44MB floppy! Whatever happened to them?”

“They got bought by blackberry, which ended as you’d expect. QNX had a lot of success in automotive though.”

“Nowadays Linux and Android are dominant in new cars, though, proving once and for all that worse is better.”
