I believe system calls can only be initiated from Kernel Mode, as it has higher privileges.

Kernel Mode, of course! Unless you want your system to crash and burn like a meteor shower.

Kernel Mode, definitely. User Mode just won't cut it for system level functions.

Medium Path? Is that like the middle child of the system call world? I'm not sure I trust it.

But isn't User Mode where most applications run? Could system calls be initiated from there too?

I'm gonna go with Slow Path. Gotta take it easy when dealing with that Gaia monster, you know?

Pfft, User Mode? As if the OS would let regular users mess with system calls. Kernel Mode all the way!

Definitely Kernel Mode. That's where the core system functions are handled, right?
