1) Operating systems provide a platform where there is strategic management of both hardware and software to improve computer performance. Different operating systems achieve diverse user needs which provide a greater emphasis on important aspects that make the existing different operating systems unique and different. Silberschatz et al. (2018) assert that the coordination of various programs within a computer system is based on the efficiency of the underlying operating system. The currently existing operating systems use a graphical user interface which hides complex applications that are executed in the background making it possible and easy for a user to use a computer system without having to understand the complex programs and processes that are run. Linux is one of the existing open source operating systems in the world. The open source element means that the operating system can be modified as well as distributed by anyone without any limitations as per the GNU licenses. This operating system is free and is available in different versions where a user decides a specific version depending on the ease to use based on their skills. Linux is just a kernel, and the Linux distribution makes it complete and easy to use. Mac OS X is an operating system that was developed by Apple, and the company holds all exclusive rights to the system which include selling, distribution, and update. The system comes pre-loaded in all Macintosh computers. The company has been producing updated versions regularly with the latest El Capitan released in 2015. According to Peter et al. (2016), Mac OS X users account for less than 10% globally. One of the reasons that explain this trend is due to the high cost of Apple computers which makes it less preference for most people. 2) Mobile technologies such as tablet and smartphone use operating systems such as Android and iOS. It is, therefore, evident that both Android and iOS are mobile technologies, but what is the difference between them? Android and iOS can be differentiated in many aspects. For instance, the transfer of files. The transfer of files in iOS is more difficult, and files are only transferred by iTunes desktop. On the other hand, file transfer in Android is easier and is done using either the Android File or Transfer desktop app. In both cases, photos are transferred using USB without the apps (Bala, Sharma & Kaur, 2015). Again, source model and OS family. Android is partly open source and Linux-based, and its fundamental features are more customizable (Bala, Sharma & Kaur, 2015). The uniform design of iOS elements is described as more user-friendly. While Android is partly open source and Linux-based, iOS is closed with components of open source, and it is both OS X- and UNIX-based (Bala, Sharma & Kaur, 2015). Additionally, but not least, jailbreaking, bootloaders, and rooting. According to Bala, Sharma, Kaur (2015), users of Android have complete control and access over their devices, thus ...
