Coordinating individual hardware components is the kernel, the core of the operating system, which coordinates those individual components so that the computer can run. Software, as we think of it, is the code that a user interacts with, but the kernel, even if we never interact with it directly, is still software as the core of the OS. Running on top

Running on top of the OS is more software, which are what we think of as processes and programs.

Running on top of the OS is more software, which are what we think of as processes and programs. These user processes interface with the OS, which then do all the work with the kernel to ensure the processes work properly. Responsibilities of an Operating System We know that the OS

Computing Fundamentals: Operating Systems
OS is responsible for ensuring hardware is used appropriately, but what does that look like? First we have to think about what hardware is on a computer. Some important pieces of hardware are: Central Processing Unit (CPU) The circuitry which executes the instructions that the OS gives it. Don't worry too much about what this means beyond the idea that processes are a series of instructions that need somewhere to run, and it happens here. We'll get to that eventually
