An operating system (OS) is a type of system software that serves as a bridge between the hardware and computer users. It provides necessary services for computer programs and oversees a computer system's hardware and software resources.
Operating system functions include: Process management: Manages processes in a system including multitasking and scheduling.
Memory management :is the process of allocating and releasing memory as required by programs.
File system management: controls file access permissions and arranges data in files and directories. Device management: uses drivers to manage and control input/output devices. User Interface: Offers a user interface such as the Graphical User Interface (GUI) or Command Line Interface (CLI).
Operating system examples include:
Microsoft created the well-known operating system Windows (e.g., Windows 10, Windows 11). Linux: Open-source operating system for desktops, servers, and embedded computers (e.g., Fedora, Ubuntu). Apple Inc. created macOS specifically for Mac computers. Google created the Android mobile operating system, which is based on the Linux kernel. iOS is Apple's mobile operating system for iPads and iPhones.
