    Always remember that linux is a kernel not an os, the kernel along with the GNU utils make a complete operating system.

      But Linux can also referred to OS that using Linux kernel but not using GNU stuff like Android and Alpine Linux

  • @thedivinityman

    The NT Kernel is considered a true hybrid kernel, The NT kernel for Windows combines elements of both approaches.
    It operates primarily in kernel space, but it also employs user-mode server processes for certain tasks.
    These server processes handle emulation subsystems (such as POSIX compatibility, OS/2 subsystem, and Win32 subsystem) that run in user mode.
    Additionally, the NT kernel shares some design goals with the Mach microkernel, particularly the separation of OS personalities from the general kernel design.
    Edit: Yes I do like how the video was presented.
    Edit 2: I thought the Linux Kernel was called the GNU kernel, or is that no longer the case?

  • @armandoleon9901

    I’m a bit confused still. When I look up what an operating system is, they give the same definition of the kernel. Then why do we need an os? Should we just need a kernel? They say the kernel is the core of the os and can’t operate without being in the context of the os. I looked up the history and the marriage of GNU (being mentioned to having other components) and the Linux kernel gave us the GNU/Linux OS. what does the os do the kernel can’t, and what does the kernel do the os can’t and why do they need each other?

    • @SavvyNik
      @SavvyNik  Рік тому +5

      The OS contains a kernel so it can talk to hardware. But it comes with extra packages like a desktop environment, tools, software, etc.

      actually kernel is a core part of an OS , you can also operate a computer without an OS just by using kernel , OS give us the utility to visualize the concept of executing programs as it also comes with the other utilities like different software for normal users , a kernel include all of the drivers that you use to communicate with i/o devices but , as OS is the superset of kernel but its just contain different utilities for users to do tasks that will we be so hard by just using kernel .OS gives you GUI to perform all these task that you can also perform by kernel but there will be a hell of mess for you , and because of the restriction of GUI you cant perform many of the task that you can do by using kernel . that's why these two modes exist kernel and user mode .

    Hey SavvyNik! I installed Pop! OS and I selected encrypted disk. Is there a way to partition the hard disk now? Pop OS is using 900 GB of my hard drive! Also how do is safely remove pop os to switch to other OS cause the disk is encrypted? Plea let me know thanks.

    • @SavvyNik
      @SavvyNik  3 роки тому

      Hi there, you can use a live disk and something like gparted to delete all partitions on a particular disk. Encryption stops you from access info on a disk not managing the disk from a high level.
