Comparison of operating systems

 

Comparison of operating systems

The following tables compare general and technical information for a number of operating systems. Please see the individual products' articles for further information.

The tables specifically do not include subjective viewpoints on the merits of each operating system. For this kind of information, please see operating system advocacy.

Due to the size and variety in differing Linux distributions available, a separate article compares different Linux distributions. See comparison of Linux distributions.

General


Basic general information about the operating systems: creator/company, license/price etc.

1 Although Lisa OS ran on the same microprocessor and was being developed at the same time by the same company as Mac OS, very little code was shared between the two. [1]

2 Most OS distributions include bundled software with various other licenses.

Technical


Information on technical aspects of the operating systems.

Features


Information on features in the operating systems. Note that defaults shown as N/A (not available) simply mean that the system has no default and that the user has a plethora of choices of implementations to install via available packages.

1 Graphics software is either kernel-based or can run as a user-level program.
