Is a Proxmox kernel that much smaller than a typical Linux kernel?

[dehrmann]

Isn't Proxmox a management layover over Debian and KVM? I doubt the kernel is even smaller.

[xattt]

Yes, so this narrative about hypervisors needing to be this skinny layer is a bit bunk.

[tptacek]

I don't know. I don't use Proxmox.
