Booting a computer involves powering on the device and loading the operating system into RAM. The boot process includes various runlevels, defined from 0 to 6, which determine the system's state and the services that run during startup. Commands like 'systemctl get-default' and 'systemctl set-default' are used to manage these runlevels.
