User Space

User space is a safe area in a computer's operating system where programs and applications run separately from the core system functions. Think of it as a sandbox where user applications operate without directly interfering with the essential parts of the system. This separation helps protect the system from accidental errors or malicious actions caused by user programs. When you open an app or a browser, it runs in user space, ensuring overall system stability and security while allowing the computer to manage multiple tasks smoothly.
