operating systems
What is an operating system?-the low-level software that supports a computer's basic functions, such as scheduling tasks and controlling peripherals.
Operating systems usually come preloaded on any computer you buy. Most people use the operating system that comes with their computer, but it is possible to upgrade or even change operating systems. The three most common operating systems for personal computers are Microsoft Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux.

Application programs usually require an operating system to function.
GUL Advantages (only when it is properly built) - it can be user-friendly and speed up the user's work. - it can be more attractive for non-technical people. - in general, it looks more professional (but this does not mean it is always the best solution). Disadvantages - when it is not properly built, it can be very difficult to work with. - it generally requires more memory resources than a non-graphical one. - it might require the installation of additional software, e.g., the "runtime environment" in the case of java. - depending on the programmer, it might require more time to be implemented.
Advantages: 1. Control every aspect of your computer. 2. Once you learn it properly, it is fast. 3. You can do things at different times, such as setting a time for a download script. You could choose to download a new program when you are sleeping, for example. 4. Everything in one place. 5. Good for speed if you have a slow computer. Less graphics means less RAM used up while you perform tasks. 6. You can use scripting language and even other programming languages, such as C (depending on which command line you use.) Disadvantages; 1. Lots to learn 2. Not GUI (Graphic User Interface), or in other words, it's not beautiful. 3. Many of the advantages are mainly for Linux, not so much for Windows.
