Introduction…
An operatingsystem acts as an intermediary between the user of
a computer and computer hardware .
The purpose of an operating system is to provide an environment
in which a user can execute programs conveniently and efficiently.
It performs all the basic tasks like file management, memory
management, process management, handling input and output,
and controlling peripheral devices such as disk drives and
printers.
Windows - Versions : Windows 10 , 8 , 7 , XP, 98 Apple OS -
Versions : Mojave, Catalina, Mac OS X Linux - Versions - Red Hat,
KDE ....

Functions of OperatingSystem…
Resource Management : When parallel
accessing happens in the OS means when
multiple users are accessing the system the OS
works as Resource Manager, Its responsibility is
to provide hardware to the user . It decreases the
load in the system .
Process Management : It includes various tasks
like scheduling, termination of the process . OS
manages various tasks at a time . Here CPU
Scheduling happens means all the tasks would
be done by the many algorithms that use for
scheduling .

Memory Management: Refers to the management of primary memory . The operating
system has to keep track, how much memory has been used and by whom . It has to decide
which process needs memory space and how much . OS also has to allocate and
deallocate the memory space .
Security/Privacy Management : Privacy is also provided by the Operating system by means
of passwords so that unauthorized applications can’t access programs or data . For
example, Windows uses Kerberos authentication to prevent unauthorized access to data .
Device management in an operating system means controlling the Input/Output devices
like disk, microphone, keyboard, printer, magnetic tape, USB ports, camcorder, scanner,
other accessories, and supporting units like supporting units control channels .
File system is the part of the operating system which is responsible for file management .
It provides a mechanism to store the data and access to the file contents including data
and programs

Window Operating System…
Windows is a family of proprietary graphical user
interface (GUI) operating systems developed by
Microsoft for personal computers. It manages a
computer's hardware and software, allowing users
to run applications, manage files, and interact with
the system through visual elements like icons and
menus. Windows is the most popular operating
system in the world and is preloaded on most new
PCs.
6.
Linux Operating System…
Linux is an open-source, Unix-like operating system
kernel that is the foundation for many different
operating systems called Linux distributions. It is known
for being free, highly portable, and secure, running on a
wide range of devices from personal computers and
servers to smartphones and supercomputers. A key
characteristic of Linux is its open-source nature, which
allows for community collaboration and transparency in
its development.

•Batch Operating System:
Processesjobs in groups without direct
user interaction during execution.
•Time-Sharing Operating System:
Allows multiple users to access the
same system resources simultaneously
by rapidly switching between user
tasks.
9.
•Real-Time Operating System(RTOS):
Designed for systems that require strict
timing guarantees, like those in medical
devices or industrial control systems.
• Distributed Operating System:
Manages a group of independent
computers and makes them appear as a
single system.
10.
•Network Operating System:
Managesand shares network resources, like
files and printers, across a network of
computers.
•Multiprocessing Operating System:
Uses multiple processors to perform tasks in
parallel, increasing speed and performance
• Multitasking Operating System:
allows a computer to run multiple tasks or
programs seemingly at the same time by
rapidly switching the CPU's attention
between them.
