L4 Microkernel

L4 Microkernel is a minimal operating system core that manages essential functions like communication between software components and hardware. Unlike traditional operating systems that handle many tasks in one large program, L4 keeps only the most critical operations in the kernel, delegating other functions to separate, secure modules. This design increases system stability, security, and flexibility, allowing different parts to run independently and update without affecting the whole system. Essentially, L4 acts as a streamlined, foundational layer that efficiently orchestrates how software and hardware work together.
