An operating system is like the boss of a computer. It tells the computer what to do and how to do it. It makes sure all the different parts of the computer can work together so that everything runs smoothly.

A kernel is like the brain of the computer. It’s a really important part of the operating system that helps the computer communicate with all the different parts of the computer. It’s like a translator that makes sure everyone is speaking the same language and can understand each other.
