The advantages of Linux Kernel are:

  • Scalable for a wide range of architectures and configurations – tiny embedded devices to powerful supercomputers
  • Standardized and interoperable programming interface (system calls, std compliance)
  • Secure, Stable, and Reliable
  • Rich set of generic drivers
  • Rich set of networking drivers & protocol stacks
  • Upstream (mainline) vs Downstream kernel
