The following are some of the several types of operating systems:

• Distributed Operating Systems: A distributed operating system (DOS) is software that manages numerous computers as if they were one.
• Batch Operating System: This operating system INTERACTS with the computer indirectly. There is a worker who organises linked jobs into batches based on their requirements. It is the operator's responsibility to group jobs that have COMPARABLE needs together.
• Real-Time Operating Systems: Real-Time Operating Systems (RTOS) are employed in situations when a significant number of events, the bulk of which are external to the computer system, must be accepted and processed quickly or within a tight deadline. Industrial control, telephone switching equipment, aircraft control, and real-time simulations are examples of such uses.
• Network Operating Systems: Network Operating Systems allow computers with different operating systems to JOIN the same network. It's routinely used in the name of security.
• Time-Sharing Operating System: A time-sharing operating system allows numerous people to use the same computer at the same time. This operating system makes the most of the available resources.

Some examples of operating systems are as follows:

• Microsoft Windows is an operating system DEVELOPED by Microsoft (Graphical User Interface Operating System based for PERSONAL Computers)
• iOS is Apple's mobile operating system (iPhone, iPad, and iPod Touch operating system)
• MacOS is the operating system that runs on Apple's personal computers and workstations, such as the MacBook and iMac.
• GNU or Linux (for Personal Computers, File and Print server, Workstations, ISP, Three-tier Clients and Servers)
• Android (Google's mobile operating system for smartphones, tablets, smartwatches, and other devices) is a mobile operating system developed by Google.
