what is operating system?
An operating system (OS) is the core software that manages a computer's hardware and provides a platform for running applications.
It acts as a bridge between the hardware and the user, controlling and allocating resources like memory, storage, and input/output devices.
User Interface The OS provides a user interface, whether graphical or command-line, allowing users to interact with the computer.
The purpose of an operating system is to provide an environment in which a user can execute programs in a convenient and efficient manner
Resource Management :-
An operating system acts as a mediator between hardware and software, managing resources like CPU, memory, and storage to ensure efficient use.
User Interface:-
It provides a way for users to interact with the computer system, making it easier to use and understand.
Application Execution:-
Operating systems create an environment where applications can run smoothly, handling tasks like memory allocation and process scheduling.
Brief history of operating systems:-
1 Modern OS Graphical user interfaces, multitasking, network connectivity
2 Early batch systems Simple, sequential execution of programs
3 First OS General Motors's "GM-NAA I/O" system in the 1950s
CPU Management Allocating :-
CPU time to running processes, preventing conflicts, and ensuring efficient utilization.
Memory Management:-
Managing the allocation and deallocation of memory to processes, ensuring sufficient space for operations.
Storage Management:-
Organizing and accessing data on disk drives, ensuring efficient storage and retrieval.
Graphical User Interfaces (GUIs)
Command-Line Interfaces (CLIs)
Provide a visual and intuitive way for users to interact with the OS.
Touch Interfaces Allow users to interact with the OS using text-based commands. Designed for touch-based devices, providing a more interactive experience. Facilitating Application Execution 1 Loading and Running Program.
