An operating system (OS) is system software that manages computer hardware, software resources, and provides common services for computer programs.

  • Common OS: [[BSD]], [[Linux]], [[macOS]], [[Windows]]
  • DistroWatch is a website dedicated to talking about, reviewing and keeping up to date with open source operating systems. This site particularly focuses on Linux distributions and flavours of BSD, though other open source operating systems are sometimes discussed. There is a lot of information out there on Linux distributions and this site tries to collect and present that information in a consistent manner to make it easier to locate.
