> But you're right: ulimately the kernel is just a program.
Play a bit with user mode linux [1] the kernel becomes literally a linux program, that I believe you can even debug with gdb (hazy memory as I tried uml last time maybe a decade ago)
In theory you can also attach gdb to qemu running linux, but that's more complicated.
