Abstract

This journal explores the fundamental ideas, features, and various applications of operating systems (OS), offering an in-depth look at this interesting field. It gives a clear picture of the OS acting as the invisible conductor, arranging the complex symphony of memory, hardware, and apps that drive our digital world. The described roles encompass resource management, process management, memory management, file management, device management, security management, and user interface management, which are essential functions of an OS. An exploration of many OSs reveals the diverse participants in this virtual orchestra, encompassing well-known brands such as Microsoft Windows, Apple macOS, Linux, Android, and iOS. Every system has its advantages and meets a different set of requirements, illustrating the wide range of OS choices. The journal looks ahead, analyzing major themes influencing OS’s development. These themes include the growing importance of mobile and cloud computing, security issues, and the possible incorporation of artificial intelligence. The final thoughts highlight how important OSs are to the seamless operation of the digital world. We can better appreciate their importance and their ability to influence how we interact with technology when we comprehend their guiding principles and operational mechanisms. This abstract is a brief synopsis of the journal, emphasizing its main ideas and giving readers a sneak peek at the OSs research that goes on inside.

Keywords: Operating system (OS), digital world, software, hardware, orchestration, evolution, trends, resource management, process management, memory management, file management, device management, security management, user interface (UI) management, conductor analogy diversity of OS (Windows, macOS, Linux, Android, iOS), cloud computing, mobile computing, artificial intelligence (AI), user experience (UX), Security threats, virtualization
