   A question by someone who knows nothing about operating systems and is very anxious so is having stupid thoughts: can’t drivers be abstracted away so they don’t have to be rewritten again? I’m imagining a micro kernel could load a driver that exposes an API but it’s not tied to an specific OS. How dumb is this and way?

     @RosaCtrl
     I believe, or hope, we're working on a solution for exactly that. WDYT, @regtur ?
