The Linux kernel was never designed with real-time applications in mind. Despite the fact that many people were skeptical about retrofitting such capabilities the PREEMPT_RT patch set has proven it's possible. Linux hasn't conquered the realm of safety-critical 'hard real-time' systems yet and maybe never will, but with the help of PREEMPT_RT, it's definitely an option worth considering if you are dealing with a 'soft real-time' system.
