A single user operating system becomes a mode where the user has a multipurpose computer screen to run the program and the operating system boots into a single super user that controls all the activities. A multi-user operating system becomes a mode where the user has a screen where only one program runs and different people within the environment have access to various devices.

A single-user operating system is a system in which only one user can access the computer system at a time. On the other hand, a multi-user operating system allows more than one user to access a computer system at one time

single user operating system provides the facilities to be used on one computer by only one user. In other words, it supports one user at a time. However, it may support more than one profiles. Single keyboard and single monitor are used for the purpose of interaction. The most common example of a single user operating system is a system that is found in a typical home computer.



On the other hand, a multi-user operating system has been designed for more than one user to access the computer at one time. Generally, a network is laid down, so that a computer can be remotely used. Mainframes and minicomputers work on multi-user operating systems. These operating systems are complex in comparison to single user operating systems. Each user is provided with a terminal and all these terminals are connected to a main computer. In a multi-user environment, it is very important to balance the requirements of the users, as the resources of the main computer are shared among the users
