 Introduction

Operating system is a system software commonly simplified as “OS”.

An operating system is the most important software that runs on a
computer. It manages the computer's memory, processes, and all its
software and hardware. It also allows you to communicate with the
computer without knowing how to speak the computer's "language."
Without an operating system, a computer is useless.

 How does it works?

Computer's operating system (OS) manages all of the software and

hardware on the computer. Most of the time, there are several different
computer programs running at the same time, and they all need to access
your computer's central processing unit (CPU), memory, and storage.
The operating system coordinates all of this to make sure each program
gets what it needs.
