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:

Security. The more popular a piece of software gets (including operating systems), it becomes a bigger attack surface for malicious actors to use.
Fundamentally, Windows security is not really that much of a swiss cheese people usually say it is. It’s just that more people (researchers and malicious actors alike) are actively looking for vulnerabilities in it.
