Chapter 1: Detailed Discussion on Operating Systems

An Operating System (OS) is a type of system software that manages computer hardware and

software resources and provides common services for computer programs. The operating system is

an essential component of the system software in a computer system. Application programs usually

require an operating system to function. It acts as an intermediary between users and the computer

hardware.

The main functions of an OS include managing the computer's resources such as the central

processing unit, memory, disk drives, and printers, as well as establishing a user interface and

executing and providing services for application software.

Operating systems are found on many devices that contain a computer from cellular phones and

video game consoles to web servers and supercomputers.
