    hardware is like your computer, stuff like the cpu and ram. software is like the programs on that computer. linus torvalds makes a program that has to deal with the details of the computer (the linux kernel). as such, they have to work around problems in the hardware.

          I’m a graybeard software engineer with 30+ years of experience.

          I appreciated your explanation.

            Me too; it’s BECAUSE I’m so old that I appreciate a general rooting what this is all about.
