  • Security: Using password protection and preventing unauthorized access to programs and user data.
  • Control over system performance:  Records the response time between service requests and system response to have a complete view of the system health.
  • Job accounting: Operating system keeps track of time and resources used by various tasks and users.
  • Error detecting aids: It constantly monitors the system to detect errors and avoid the malfunctioning of computer system.
  • Coordination between other software and users: Coordinates and assigns interpreters, compilers, assemblers and other software to the various users of the computer systems.

This is a video that explains in a basic form the functions of an OS.

  • Memory Management: Manages the Main Memory, which is a large array of words or bytes where each word or byte has its own address and provides a fast storage that can be accessed directly by the CPU.
  • Processor Management: In a multi programming environment, the OS decides the order in which processes have access to the processor, and how much processing time each process has (process scheduling).
  • Device Management: The operating system keeps tracks of all devices. It decides which process gets the device when and for how much time and also allocates the device in the efficient way. 
  • File Management: It keeps track of information, location, uses, status etc. Decides who gets the resources and allocates and De-allocates the resources.

    Apple macOS: Created in 2001, it is the successor to the popular OS X operating system. It runs on Apple laptops and desktops.
    Linux: It was created in 1991 and unlike many other operating systems, development on Linux isn't led by any one company.
