I was basically on board, but how are they harder to debug? I'd think being able to run components in userspace would make debugging way easier.

You are now debugging a distributed system.

Oh, good point; I was thinking at the component level

fun fact: you already are in linux. being a monolith doesn't change the nature of the problem.

[yjftsjthsd-h]

Are you? I'm paddy pretty sure I can run a single Linux and point a single gdb at it[0] and debug it in a single memory space; I don't think you can do that with a microkernel.
