3.11.4 Linux: Linux is an operating system that is so prevalent globally. Android, is power-driven by the Linux operating system. This operating system is the software that bring about the functions of the hardware resources stored in the computer desktop or laptop. The software accomplishes the transactions of the communicable tasks in the hardware (The Linus Foundation, 2022). Linux was developed in the mid-1990s and spans across the globe. Linux is essentially everywhere. It can be found in your phones, thermostats, cars, refrigerators, home appliances, Roku devices, and televisions (The Linus Foundation, 2022). It is used to individuals and organisation to operate the Internet, supercomputers, and world’s stock exchanges.

3.11.5 Solaris: Solaris is a registered Unix operating system initially advanced by Sun Microsystems. It outdated the corporation’s previous SunOS in 1993. In 2010, after the Sun procurement by Oracle, it was retitled Oracle Solaris. Solaris, a Latin word meaning "relating to the sun", may refer to: Solaris (operating system) Solaris is a Unix operating system originally developed by Sun Microsystems. Solaris is a Unix that has the same features as DTrace, ZFS and Time Slider (Word finder, 2022).

3.11.6 Android Operating System: The Android operating system consist of a mobile operating system established by Google (GOOGL) to be mainly used for touch screen strategies, of cell phones, and tablets. The plans were for users to operate the mobile devices instinctively, with their finger actions such that, mutual signs of pinching, lifting, and tapping could take place. Google has now employed Android software in televisions, cars, and wristwatches, being tailored towards a unique user interface (Chen and Catalano, 2021).

3.11.7 Open-Source Operating Systems in Libraries: Open-source software is a software that is made free of charge for individuals and libraries, such that, since the individual and libraries could not pay or purchase any software, could use it to run their system, copy, distribute, study, change and share information and knowledge to meet their different information needs and purposes. Open-source library software's do not require the cost of commercial software but allows libraries to have better regulator over their employed staff and resources in their environment (Houser, 2009).

evolved in the workplace learning where individual have to continually make use of the computer to render service for organizational transformation. Presently, there is no organizations including libraries and information centres that could meet up with diversities of users’ information and at the same time attend to other of their goals and objectives without the support and use of computer operating systems. Computer operating system is significant to diverse set of work operations globally, even though some individuals in some institutions/organizations and developing countries are still struggling to find foot with its use. This makes it possible that present economic state which is associated with digital technologies expect that every individual irrespective of race and class should be familiar with this ever-needed computer operating system.

The idea surrounding computer operating system is that, the computer is perceived as automated or electronic devices consist of different operating system, else it could be seen as empty frame. Extant literature search shows that, the operating system takes into account of the aptitude of handling the computer memory within the hardware devices. The operating system is continuous based on the software that drives the different programs that runs in the system. The determination exerted into the operating system allows the computer to receive data and information for appropriate management before it drives through rigorous renovating and handling of useful information and knowledge which the users operate with. The hardware and the software, though cannot function on them without the keyboard and mouse that aids to input data or information in the computer. There are other components that support the functionality of the computer such as the monitors, printers, speakers, hard drives, flash disks, router among others.

The understanding obtains from extant literature indicate that, there is no worldwide accepted definitions of computer operating system, because most of the scholars who have written so much in these areas comes from different background. Certain similarity thrives in the various interpretations and definitions given thus far. The computer operating systems are vivacious apparatuses that provide for diverse work operations either at home, schools and workplace learning. The operating system is an organized system principally designed for the running of applications in the computer system. The essence of the computer operating system could result to widen diverse fields of study. There are many services delivery across diverse fields of study today that require the use of the computer operating system, to ease the effort which man must put in into work operations. The computer may possibly complete not the same task from accepting data (input), to the stage of handling the data through arithmetic and logical analysis, before it produces the output commencing from the processing, thereafter stores the outcomes for future use. The competence of the user of the

computer is centered on ability to transport different jobs required to be executed.

The computer operating system has different objectives for which they were created and this consists of the following: usability, computer languages, resources manager, maintenance culture, multi-programmed batch systems, time sharing system, convenience, efficiency, concept of hardware parts, management of the system resources, hardware generating construct, permit resources to be managed, provision of effective user interface, user friendliness, use program development, expansion of illustration within program control, has protection measures and supervision mode, permit disk admittance to different file system, influences the system for diversion of operations, error discovery and control, distribution of resources, memory management, and program implementation among too numerous to mention. The history of computer system is compounded with the entity that has long existed for over eight decades, between 1936 and 1938, when Z1 was created. The first computer system uses one program at a given time. Progressively, additional software programs were incorporated into the system that shaped improved chance for the start of operating system we now use today. The code used in most of the computer today makes it much more advance to successfully accomplish task when utilized by the user.

What the first generation of computer could do is not the same when compared to the fourth generation is capable of achieving. Therefore, in order to address this need, researchers and scientist in the field of engineering and computer science forecast what the future would become as population of the world continues to growing and came up with more advance system with multiple operating system and programs.

The genealogy of computer creation follows this order apart from what was earlier said in 1936 and 1938. In 1981, MS-DOS was introduced by Microsoft which became underway as the foundation of 86-DOS used by many people and company today. In 1987, OS/2 was launched, in 1990, Microsoft Windows produced Windows 3.0.

Window 3.0 overtook Apple Macintosh and Commodore Amiga on GUI (Graphical user interface) front. In 1991, Linux was launched with known kernel. In 1992, effort was exerted on Microsoft, Windows 3. In 1995, Windows 95 was launched by Microsoft, in 1998, Microsoft continued in their quest to introduce Windows 98 that exhibited a hybrid 16 bit and 32-bit GUI, which brands it into a graphical operating system. In 2008, iPhone OS 1 was originally iOS for Apple mobile operating system.

In 2011, Google developed Chrome operating system, which consist of Linux kernel-based operating system. The Google Chrome web browser due to its user interface has free software and provision on web application to accommodate broad users. The user data operates directly with the cloud that makes the operating system cloud based.

The thoughtfulness of all the mentioned types of operating systems revolves round different computer applications. There is vast alteration that has taken place in the conception of this computer operating system across the world today. Currently the computer operating systems deliberated on are artificial intelligence, robotics and blockchain and these could lead towards development of more operating systems for operation ability. The creation of this operating system gave birth to different types of computer operating system used by individuals today and these comprises of the followings:

• 2Single user single tasking

• Single user multi-tasking

• Multi-processor

• Multi programming

• Real time

• Batch and parallel processing

• Distributed

• Embedded

• Network computer operating system (peer-to-peer network operating system and client-Server network operating system)
