Just comprehend the kernel to be like a seed inside a hard shell because it exists within the operating system and takes charge of all the major functionalities of the hardware, whether it is a server, phone, laptop, or any other kind of computer. The kernel performs four tasks: memory management, which monitors the amount of memory being used to store what and where; device drivers, which act as an interpreter between processes and hardware; process management, which chooses which processes can use the CPU when and for how long; and, finally, system calls and security, which receives requests for service from the processes.

Connect 1Password's CLI and app in i3 with lxpolkit - Major Hayden
