Multiuser: allows two or more users to run programs at the same time on one computer - Examples: Microsoft's Windows Server, Unix, and Linux distributions for enterprise 2. Multiprocessing: supports running a program on more than one CPU (or core) 3. Multitasking: allows more than one program to run concurrently - In a multitasking OS, you can have a web browser, a word processor, and a video player all running at the same time, and you can switch between them seamlessly 4. Multithreading: allows different threads (or parts) of a single program to run concurrently - Web browsers can use multithreading to manage multiple open tabs simultaneously. Each tab may be assigned its own thread, allowing for independent loading and interaction with web content without impacting the responsiveness of other tabs 5. Real time: responds to input instantly - Real-time operating systems are used to control the operation of jet engines, the deployment of air bags, and the operation of antilock braking systems—among other uses © 2017 Cengage Learning.

(REQUIRED) [link] (4:48 to 9:18) Memory Management Manages the data stored on main memory - Swapping data between RAM and disk when needed - Ensuring each program gets the memory it needs without interfering with others Networking Capability Allows computers in a network to send and receive data and share computing resources Operating systems for larger server computers are designed specifically for computer networking environments © 2017 Cengage Learning. All Rights Reserved.

A command-line interface (CLI) - Requires memorizing text commands 2. A graphical user interface (GUI) - The user interacts with icons and menus to send commands to the computer system 3. Voice User Interface - To interact with computers and devices using spoken language - Virtual assistants like Siri, Amazon's Alexa, and Google Assistant are prominent examples 4. Brain-Computer Interfaces (BCI) - For people with disabilities [link1] [link2] Natural User Interface (NUI) Seamlessly integrates gestures (as seen in Xbox Kinect and Nintendo Wii), voice commands (like Siri), and touch to create an intuitive and natural way of interacting with computers © 2017 Cengage Learning.

The Linux kernel (the core of the operating system)—which controls the hardware, manages files, separates processes, and performs other basic functions 2.
