==== What does an OS do? ====
  * **Manages hardware and software**: The OS controls the computer's memory, processes, and peripheral devices.
  * **Coordinates programs**: The OS ensures that all programs have access to the computer's resources, such as the CPU, memory, and storage. 
  * **Provides a user interface**: The OS allows users to interact with the computer through a user interface (UI), such as a command-line interface (CLI) or a graphical user interface (GUI). 

==== What types of operating systems are there? ====
  * Mobile operating systems \\ These are used on mobile devices like smartphones and tablets. Examples include iOS and Android. 
  * Desktop operating systems \\ These are used on personal computers. Examples include Windows, macOS, and Linux. 
  * Real-time operating systems \\ These are designed to respond to events in real time. They're used in applications like robotics, industrial control systems, and embedded systems.

==== How do I change my operating system? ====
