Operating System (OS)

In the context of information technology, an operating system (OS) is a software that manages computer hardware and software resources and provides common services for computer programs. It acts as an intermediary between the computer hardware and the user, allowing the user to interact with the computer without having to know the details of how the hardware works. The operating system is responsible for managing the computer’s memory, processing power, and input/output devices. It also provides a platform for software applications to run on, and manages the security and access control of the computer system. There are many different types of operating systems, including Windows, macOS, Linux, Android, ios, and Unix, each with its own strengths and weaknesses.
