  • The kernel does stuff like

    • process and CPU task management
    • hardware abstraction
    • memory management (at the process level),
    • file system managment
    • and resource isolation (such as randomized memory addresses (ASLR))

    • desktop rendering and window management
    • settings menus
    • sound mixing between applications
    • graphics rendering
