I am tech savvy so you don't have to disregard the details much about it. I know programming.

I agree that this question isn't really appropriate for this forum. You can't explain how a kernel works to a 5 year old beyond extremely vague descriptions you probably already know.

If you do want to delve more into this, I'd suggest spending time on the OSDev Wiki. You could even write a toy OS for yourself. It's not as hard as it sounds.

I guess c/asklemmy is a better place for this.
