    An operating system (OS) acts as an intermediary between users and computer hardware, providing an environment for users to run programs efficiently while managing hardware resources like memory, processors, and devices. It controls allocation of these resources and services. Without an OS, a computer would not be able to perform any functions, as the OS serves as the computer's brain by managing hardware and allowing users to run software programs on top of it. Common examples of operating systems include versions of macOS, Windows, Android, Linux, and iOS.
