Operating systems (OS) provide
low-level software services. They convert a core instruction set available in the CPU and peripherals into a set of
executable and
manageable functions. This conversion occurs through higher-level software functions,
such as:
- Programming languages/compilers
- Management Applications: Any application that manages desktop systems (either remotely or directly on the system).
- Middleware: Acts as an interoperability platform between unrelated software architectures and applications.
