Operating System

17 videos • 4 views • by Explore Today An operating system (OS) is the essential software that acts as a bridge between a computer's hardware and the user. It manages all critical tasks such as file handling, memory management, and hardware control, making it possible for users to run applications and perform everyday tasks. Without an operating system, a computer wouldn’t function properly — it wouldn’t know how to open a file, connect to Wi-Fi, or even display your desktop. Common examples include Microsoft Windows, macOS for Apple devices, Linux for servers and advanced users, and Android for mobile phones. Whether you're browsing the internet, watching a video, or typing a document, the operating system works behind the scenes to make everything run smoothly.
