through a GUI or
command line.
Types of Operating System
 Batch Operating System: This type of operating system takes a bunch
of jobs and processes them all at once which is efficient without
needing user input for each task.
 Real-Time Operating System (RTOS): An RTOS is like a clockwork
mechanism that ensures tasks are completed right on time, crucial
for applications where delays can be problematic.
 Multiprogramming Operating System: This system juggles several
programs at the same time, making sure the CPU is always busy and
not sitting idle.
 Network Operating System: A network operating system connects
multiple computers and helps them communicate and share
resources smoothly, like a conductor leading an orchestra.
Types of Operating System

 Distributed Operating System: This OS brings together various independent


computers to work as a single unit, enhancing resource sharing and
reliability.
 Multitasking Operating System: A multitasking OS lets you run several
applications at once, so you can switch between tasks without
interruptions.
 Time-Sharing Operating System: This system allows multiple users to
access the computer resources in a fair and efficient way, as if everyone
gets a turn on the same ride.
 Multiprocessing Operating System: A multiprocessing OS utilizes multiple
processors to handle tasks simultaneously, boosting performance and
reliability, much like a team working together to finish a project faster.
