About Operating Systems
GoConqr OriginalWhat the resources cover
This unit sits in the Computer Systems strand of Computing and ICT. The listed material runs from the basic job of an operating system to the detail of how one works inside. The mind map operating systems starts with interrupts, separating hardware interrupts (triggered by the mouse or keyboard) from software ones. Other maps cover Main Functions of an Operating System, Types of Operating Systems (OS), Job and Processor Scheduling, virtual storage management and Deadlocks.
Where to start
If the topic is new, begin with a broad map such as The Components of an Operating System, or the notes called Role of the Operating System. Then move to the slide set Role of an operating system and the flashcards A451: Functions of An Operating System.
- Read a general map on functions and types.
- Work through flashcards on processes, threads and inter process communication.
- Move on to memory, scheduling, deadlocks and file systems.
Quizzes and maps together
Use a map to see how ideas link, then test yourself. The quiz Computer File Systems asks about FAT, corrupted sectors and partition tables. CS 372 Quiz 2 Practice looks at processes and Mach. Wrong answers show you which map to reread.
Windows, Linux, mobile and certification
Practical material is here too. The Cisco IT Essentials quiz on Chapter 12 covers mobile, Linux and macOS, including how locator apps find a device. The flashcards ITMT-1358-Windows Client Operating Sys list terms like BitLocker and Client Hyper-V. Several quizzes follow the 98-349 lessons, and others suit GCSE, A-level and professional exam revision.

Frequently asked questions
Which resource should I open first?
For a general overview, try the mind map called The Components of an Operating System, or the notes Role of the Operating System. Both explain what an operating system does. After that, the quiz Computer File Systems or the flashcards on processes and threads make good next steps.
What do the mind maps cover?
They range from the functions and types of operating systems to interrupts, scheduling, virtual storage, process synchronisation and deadlocks. There is also a map on Android-specific changes to Linux. Over 1,200 mind maps are listed, so you can compare how different authors organise the same topic.
Are the resources free to use?
Yes. Every resource listed here is free to open, study and take, with no account needed. They were made by GoConqr users, not by GoConqr itself. If you sign up for a free account, you can also save quiz scores and create your own quizzes, maps, flashcards and notes.
Which exams and levels do these resources suit?
Most resources suit school students and university students, with some for professional candidates. Listed resources mention GCSE Computer Science, GCSE ICT, IGCSE ICT, A-level Computing, A-level Computer Science, IT Essentials, MTA 98-349, MCSA and MD-100. Check each title to see whether it fits your course.
Is there anything on Windows and Linux specifically?
Yes. You will find quizzes such as Win 7 Midterm and Exploring Windows 10, notes giving overviews of Windows XP, Vista and 7, and flashcards on Linux and Unix system architecture. The Cisco IT Essentials chapter quiz also covers mobile, Linux and macOS.
What if I can't find the topic I need?
Try a related title first, since many topics appear under different names, such as functions of an operating system. If nothing fits, you can make your own quiz, mind map, flashcards or notes with a free account and use them for your own revision.
