INTRODUCTION

An Operating System (OS) is an essential layer of system software that acts


as an intermediary between user and computer hardware. Operating
systems have evolved dramatically since the dawn of computing and have
continuously adapted to technological advancements from rudimentary
manual operations to sophisticated platforms, supporting multitasking,
networking and artificial intelligence. It manages both computer hardware
and software resource and provides a common service for computer
programs and ensures efficient operation of the computer systems as a
whole. The OS provides a layer of abstraction between the user and the
hardware, allowing users to interact with the computer in a more convenient
and efficient way. Operating systems can be found in a wide range of
devices, from smartphones and tablets to laptops and desktop computers, as
well as servers and mainframes. They come in different forms, including
open-source and proprietary, and are developed by various companies and
organizations
