A GUI (Graphical User Interface) operating system is an operating system that provides a visual interface for interacting with the computer, allowing users to perform tasks such as launching applications, navigating files, and configuring settings through the use of graphical icons, images, and other visual elements. Some common features found in GUI operating systems include:
Desktop: A visual environment that serves as the main interface for the operating system.
Taskbar: A bar at the bottom or top of the screen that displays open applications and provides access to system functions and settings.
Start menu: A menu that provides access to applications, files, and settings.
File Explorer: A file management application that allows users to navigate and manage their files and folders.
Windows: Graphical representations of open applications or files.
Icons: Small images that represent applications, files, or settings.
Menus: Pop-up menus that provide access to application-specific options and settings.
Toolbars: Bars that contain buttons and other controls for accessing commonly used functions.
