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.

It was a fairly unexciting conclusion. When I reviewed the Google Pixel 7 Pro last year, I walked away with the impression of a phone that was a bit better in some important ways but wasn’t quite the superintelligent, time-saving device that Google claimed it was. It was just a good smartphone, not a smarter smartphone. But that was over six month
