Can you please elaborate what exactly is the problem with the first sentence?
"The kernel isn't a process—it's the system. It serves user processes, reacts to context, and enforces separation and control."
This is actually based on "The Kernel in The Mind" by Moon Hee Lee. You are welcome to provide feedback.

This looks like a really interesting resource. Can anybody here vouch for its accuracy or usefulness? I can't find a ton about it online. The fact that it's only published as a series of LinkedIn posts, or a PDF attached to a LinkedIn post, does not fill me with confidence - but I guess we can't expect kernel devs to know how to create websites?
Is it or is it not AI generated? That's all I said, and you didn't deny it.
Focus! Whether it's AI generated or not is a form of ad hominem. Attack the content, not how it came to be.
Calm down. You had the answer served on a platter.
From "The Kernel in the Mind":

It's X but Y came from elsewhere.
> This isn’t a guide to writing kernel code. It’s an effort to understand how the Linux kernel thinks.
> not of function calls, but of how the kernel responds
> The kernel is not a process but the very foundation
> The Linux kernel is not just a set of subsystems—it is a layered system that enforces structure at runtime
> This flexibility does not come from runtime detection or dynamic reconfiguration. It comes from structure.
> Identity is not discovered at runtime. It is defined before execution begins.
> The kernel doesn't view memory as a simple map, but as a responsibility
> Memory Is Not a Place. It’s a System.
> Memory safety relies on disciplined handoffs, not centralized control or type enforcement.
> The Linux kernel goes beyond executing code; it enforces strict control
> Kernel execution is not linear code—it’s structured control
This legitimately hurts to read. I think I'm going to have an aneurysm if I continue.
