Because the communication between different parts of the system is more complex in a microkernel.
Linux is a monolithic kernel. Some operating systems with a microkernel use Linux as a process for providing drivers, but this is irrelevant to mainstream Linux.
It isn't. RTLinux is a separate microkernel that runs Linux as a process. The Linux kernel is essentially unmodified.

Linux is not illegal. Linux is a free, public license software modeled on Unix.
Linux *is* an operating system (In the strictest sense, it's a kernel, but since an OS core, unless it's in a microkernel-driven environment, can only be based on its kernel, Linux is still effectively the OS core as well as the kernel.), so it can only be used as an operating system.I am assuming this question is "Can Linux be used as an operating system *on* personal computers?" And the answer is yes!The Linux operating system is fully capable of running a PC, and there are countless GNU-based userspaces built on the Linux operating system to make desktop-focused Linux distributions, such as Ubuntu, Mint, or Fedora.These days, the hardware support in Linux is just as solid as Windows on PCs, so chances are you launch a Linux distribution on even a new machine, it'll have all your hardware working out of the box.
