Just two remarks, some of jour points read like they are based on your assumptions. It’s strange to write about ‘Linux’ because Linux is like an ecosystem of distros, which also are the core of qubesOS.
Please take this as a friendly feedback.
I clearly said if i’m not sure about something. I takes time to do research if you can do better than go ahead and show us what you know. If you think something I said is wrong then please make a constructive reply and tell us all how it really is.
And QubesOS isnt based on linux kernel. It uses Xen. Linux is used in the Qubes aka VMs.
The dom0 is very much running a Linux kernel, the same way your domU:s are typically running Linux kernels (although you could probably run any kernel in hvm mode).
As an example, here is the documentation on how to manage updates for the dom0 kernel:

@chappedafloat
So you did not take it as a friendly feedback.
i took it as dumb worthless feedback, that’s why I tried to tell you how you can make it constructive on your next try if you actually know anything.
