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

Yes but then it wouldn’t be an ELI5 if I got that advanced.

OP asked for the advanced details though

ELI5 with a CS degree. Certainly a challenge.

Well, the dude you've replied to provided a great explanation + the correct details, so it certainly is possible.

Is the computer starting the BIOS first an advsnced topic? I don't think so. You could at least say when the OS gets booted, the kernel starts first.

You do realize you posted in /c/ExplainLikeImFive right? Not ExplainLikeImTwelve. You’re welcome. If you aren’t happy you can have a refund.
