What is an Operating System?
• An operating system is the most important software that runs on a
computer.
• It manages the computer's memory and processes, as well as all of
its software and hardware.
• It also allows you to communicate with the computer without
knowing how to speak the computer's language.
• It also provides a basis for application programs and acts as an
intermediary between the computer user and the computer
hardware.

5. Distributed: Runs on multiple machines connected via a network.
Operating System Interfaces

Command-Line Interface (CLI): Text- Graphical User Interface (GUI): Visual,


based interaction (e.g., Terminal). mouse-driven (e.g., Windows, macOS).
Modern Operating Systems

Windows: Microsoft's popular OS.


macOS: Apple's OS for Mac computers.
