(“MULTI-PLEXED INFORMATION + COMPUTING SERVICE”)
(A PROJECT THAT THE ‘UNIX CREATORS’ HAD WORKED ON)
(THEIR BIGGEST INFLUENCE)
(AND I LIKE THAT THEY USED ‘X’ INSTEAD OF ‘CS’)

(“GNU NOT UNIX”)

-an operating system (OS) is ‘system software’ that manages computer ‘hardware’ + ‘software’ resources + provides common services for ‘computer programs’-
.
(all ‘computer programs’ (excluding ‘firmware’) require an ‘operating system’ to function)
(‘time-sharing operating systems’ schedule ‘tasks’ for efficient use of the
‘system’ and may also include ‘accounting software’ for ‘cost allocation’ of ‘processor time’, ‘mass storage’, ‘printing’, and other ‘resources’)
(for ‘hardware functions’ such as ‘input’ / ‘output’ and ‘memory allocation’, the operating system acts as an ‘intermediary’ between ‘programs’ and the ‘computer hardware’, although the ‘application code’ is usually executed directly by the ‘hardware’ and frequently makes ‘system calls’ to an ‘OS function’ or is interrupted by it)
.
(‘operating systems’ are found on many devices that contain a ‘computer’…)
(from ‘simplest’ – ‘most complex’?)
‘cellular phones’
‘video game consoles’
‘web servers’
‘super-computers’
.
(‘linux’ is dominant in the ‘server’ + ‘super-computing’ sectors)
.
(other specialized classes of ‘operating systems’ (such as ’embedded’ + ‘real-time’ systems) exist for many ‘applications’)
