What is an Operating System (OS)?

An operating system is system software that manages the computer's resources, both hardware (GPU, CPU, SSD/HDD, etc.) and software (cache, storage of files, etc.). At the core of the operating system is the kernel. The kernel manages everything in the system. Some examples of the kernel are the Linux kernel and the Berkeley Software Distribution kernel.
