More resources can be added easily

Resources like printers can be shared on multiple pc’s

Disadvantages of distributed operating systems:-

Security problem due to sharing

Some messages can be lost in the network system

Bandwidth is another problem if there is large data then all network wires to be replaced which tends to become expensive

Overloading is another problem in distributed operating systems
