Computer Basics: Understanding Operating Systems

Whether you have a laptop, desktop, smartphone, or tablet, your device has an operating system (also known as an "OS"). In this video we'll show you what an operating system is and talk about a few of the most common operating systems.
We'll also talk about compatibility issues. Some software is designed to work with a variety of operating systems, but other software may only run on one or two.

Why is Ni in Nihao written upside down? (Chinese hello)

[@deannalee5534]

Didn't bother to check with someone who knows.

[@Siduch.]

@@deannalee5534 I know but how do you even confuse that? Like seriously, if you use a Chinese keyboard it wouldn't end up with that lol. So it's almost as if they purposely did that, but maybe they just took and image from the Internet that was already like that idk

Lovely

[@TurgutKalfaoglu]

I wish it talked about what OS does in greater detail

[@JJFlores197]

Well you gotta understand this is a beginners video for people who aren't familiar with computers. It would likely add too much complexity to a potentially already confused person who may be trying to learn about computers.

Operating System needs hardware and software!!1

[@starboycstreet6230]

The first Chinese character is upside down it's supposed to be 你好

[@BusyAsAGhost]

Haha, I was just looking to see if anyone else caught that. Kind of impressed that they managed to do that, as I am not really sure how you would type upside-down for one character only to have the next be right-side up.

[@farahmohumad5355]

where is the queen Linux /? an extremely popular operating system for . There are two main reasons behind this. First off, source code freely available because it an open source operating system. ... Malicious actors tools to exploit vulnerabilities in applications, software, and networks

[@lightjack0540]

Ok boomer where is Linux? ;)

[@howellpendragon2227]

I think this is the general idea/definition of what an OS is so they didn’t mention other OS 😅

[@luminiscenciaa]

They’ve only listed the most popular lol.

[@AdamantIP]

Linux isn't an operating system it's a kernel. There is a difference.

[@lightjack0540]

@@AdamantIP I know... You are using an OS that is based on the Linux kernel. But I think you can reffer to an OS based on Linux as "using Linux".

[@AdamantIP]

Sure. But my point is that you're teasing them when you're technically incorrect.

[@adrianholder7595]

how come you pick Swedish, you could have said, French, German Russian, languages that have more population look I'm not saying you cant pick Sweedish but it didnt seem practical, you even could have said English since the computer neither speaks that way

@@itsbesr2940 so if you are using any type of computer, (PC, tablet, phone etc...) and are controlling it using a touch screen, a keyboard or what ever, you are sending messages to your operating system and basically talking to the computer in a language it understands.

How in the world do you manage to make an operating system video without mentioning Linux once

[@arsims1]

The first operating system ever, the oldest operating system is Microsoft Windows for all modern Personal Computers. IO's and Linux and Android or Google operating system all were made with Microsoft Windows. So do not go against Microsoft Windows and leave the first the oldest Operating System for modern Personal Computers alone. Without Microsoft Windows all operating systems for PC's will fail and not work anymore. Because Microsoft Windows is their bases.
