There are two main parts in an operating system. There is the kernel and the system programs. They function together to make sure the operating system runs as it should. The kernel is kind of like a coordinator. It manages and distributes the resources necessary like memory, hardware device, disk space and CPU to all the programs that run on the computer.
Two features that distinguish the Linux Kernel are its efficiency and its portability. Since it's open source it lends itself to new advancements from different programmers. It's also compatible with different system processors and platforms.
