Operating systems (OS) are essential software managing computer hardware and software resources, enabling user interaction. Examples include Windows (.exe), macOS (.app), and Linux (no specific extension). Types range from desktop (Windows, macOS, Linux) to mobile (Android, iOS) and real-time (QNX). OS manage various file types: executables (.exe), system files (.sys), documents (.docx), media (.mp4), and compressed archives (.zip), each with specific extensions aiding in identification and handling. The OS is the fundamental layer making computing possible.

An operating system is the main software that controls how a computer works. It helps the computer's hardware and other software work together. Without an OS, the computer can't run programs.

Examples of Operating Systems:
Windows (like Windows 10, Windows 11)

macOS (used in Apple computers)

Linux (like Ubuntu)

Android (used in phones)

iOS (used in iPhones)

Types of Operating Systems:
Single-user OS – for one person at a time (e.g., Windows 10)

Multi-user OS – allows many users at the same time (e.g., Linux server)

Mobile OS – used in smartphones (e.g., Android, iOS)

Real-time OS – used in machines and robots where fast response is needed

File Types and Extensions:
The OS helps organize and manage files. Files come in different types, and each has a file extension (letters after the dot in a file name).

Text files – .txt, .docx

Image files – .jpg, .png

Audio files – .mp3, .wav

Video files – .mp4, .avi

Program files – .exe, .apk

An operating system (OS) is the main software that manages a computer’s hardware and software. Examples include Windows, macOS, and Linux. Types are single-user, multi-user, and mobile OS. It handles files like text (.txt), images (.jpg), videos (.mp4), and programs (.exe). The OS helps everything work smoothly.
