List down the types of Operating Systems and discuss how it works and provide
image.

1. Microsoft Windows
Microsoft Windows (also referred to as Windows or Win) is a graphical operating
system developed and published by Microsoft. It provides a way to store files, run
software, play games, watch videos, and connect to the Internet. Microsoft Windows
was first introduced with version 1.0 on November 10, 1983

2. MacOS
As you run applications on your computer, the OS allocates the resources
necessary to complete the task. That can include processing power, memory
allocation and computer storage access, among other things. Ideally, the OS will make
sure that your computer's hardware is never overtaxed.
3. Linux
Linux (pronounced LINN-ux) is a family of open-source operating systems,
which means they can be modified and distributed by anyone around the world. This
is different from proprietary software like Windows, which can only be modified by
the company that owns it. Linux is used both to run parts of the Internet, as well as to
run small and large networks in coporations, offices and homes. Since Linux is stable,
secure and robust, it's perfect for storing huge databases of information.
4. Apple iOS
Apple iOS is a proprietary mobile operating system that runs on mobile devices
such as the iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch. Apple iOS is based on the Mac OS X
operating system for desktop and laptop computers. The iOS developer kit provides
tools that allow for iOS app development.

5. Google Android
The Android operating system is a mobile operating system that was developed
by Google to be primarily used for touchscreen devices, cell phones, and tablets.
