INTRODUCTION An operating system is a collection of programs written in low-level languages ​​that control the resources of a computer. It manages your computer's memory, processes, and all of your computer's software and hardware. The operating system serves as an interface between users and hardware that allows the user to communicate with the computer without language barriers. Booting is the process that occurs when users press the power button to turn on their computer. During this process, the computer runs tests to make sure everything is working properly, checks for new hardware, and then starts the operating system by loading it into main memory. The operating system ensures the best use of computer resources and provides the basis for running the user's program. The operating system also serves as system protection by viewing and managing errors in the computer system and controlling the selection and operation of peripherals. A good operating system is efficient, small in size and reliable. HISTORY Early history of the 1940s and 1950s: In the 1940s, early digital electronic systems had no operating systems. Computers of that time were so primitive compared to those of today that programs were often entered into the computer one bit at a time via rows of mechanical switches. Eventually machine languages ​​consisting of strings of binary digits 0 and 1 were introduced that speed up the programming process. Systems from the 1950s generally ran only one job at a time. The history of the 1960s gave rise to the era of timesharing and multiprogramming: the systems of the 1960s were also batch processing systems but were able to make better use of computer resources by running sev...... half some paper......to fix them. Everything can be controlled via GUI and incompatibility problems are rare. GRAPHICS PERFORMANCE NVidia often does not provide documentation for Linux developers, drivers cannot utilize the full performance of the card. Combined with the latest versions of DirectX and full graphics card support, performance is about as good as it gets.
