Heya!
Before I answer your question, I'd like to tell you what is an OS and UI....
So, what is an Operating System (OS)? An OS or Operating System is a system software that controls every working of a computer. It acts as a link between the hardware, software and the user.
What is User Interface (UI) ? User Interface(UI) can be defined as the appearance of how the software looks in terms of buttons, images, textBoxes, Labels, etc....
Types of Operating Systems....Operating System (OS) can be of two types based upon their User Interface(UI) into:
- Graphical User Interface, and
- Character User Interface.
What is a Graphical User Interface (GUI)? Now-a-days, most OSs have GUI. This UI allows the user to drag-n-drop Objects, click, point, select and so on... to interact with the OS. The above given examples of OSs were all of GUI-based OS. Further, GUI is also divided into MetroUI, FlatUI etc.....but, we'll not go into so many details. <refer second image>
What is Character User Interface (CUI)? Now, lets come to the question. C.U.I or Character User Interface is a U.I. which has no graphics but just a screen like Windows Command Prompt (CMD) <refer to first image image>. Here, you may only interact with the OS by typing commands into the window. Because they are difficult to use and understand, the are no longer used. Some examples of CUI-based OS are MS DOS, LINUX etc.....
Now, lets talk about some examples.....
First GUI based OSs examples...
- Windows by Microsoft
- Macintosh by Apple
- IOS by Apple
- Android by Google
Now, CUI based OSs examples....
- MS DOS by Microsoft
- Terminal
- Linux
That's All! Hope this helps!
