Kernel

A kernel is the heart of almost every operating system. It is always loaded in memory at any time and deals with the hardware to provide an interface for the software. It also manages peripherals, memory, interrupts, and processes. Examples of widely used kernels include Windows NT and Linux.

Ever since I got the Pixel 6 Pro, I’ve been reluctant to use it as my daily driver, opting instead to keep my secondary SIM in it. The smaller Pixel 5 remained my go-to phone. But for the purpose of this revisit, I set aside my pocketable Pixel 5 and made the leap to the 6 Pro. For the first few days, the change in size was nothing.
