INTRODUCTION

A detailed analysis of operating systems is of great relevance in a constantly evolving

technological environment, where choosing the right operating system can have a significant
impact on productivity and user experience. Through this comparison table, we seek to provide
a comprehensive view that allows users to make informed decisions when selecting the most
appropriate operating system for their needs. By exploring key aspects such as usability,
security and flexibility, this report aims to offer a detailed perspective that serves as a starting
point for those seeking to understand the fundamental differences between the leading
operating systems in the market. In this report we will also reveal the features and advantages
that can be achieved in operating systems.

CONCLUSIONS

4- Comparative analysis of Windows, macOS and Linux operating systems has

revealed significant differences in terms of usability, security and flexibility. While
Windows stands out for its broad compatibility with applications and hardware,
macOS stands out for its intuitive design and integration with other Apple
devices. On the other hand, Linux offers greater flexibility and control for
advanced users, although it may require more technical knowledge.

4- It is important to keep in mind that choosing the ideal operating system will largely
depend on the individual needs and preferences of each user. While some may
value the ease of use and availability of Windows software, others may prioritize
the security and stability offered by macOS or the freedom and customization
provided by Linux.

+ This report has served as a useful tool in understanding the key differences
between these leading operating systems, allowing users to make informed
decisions when selecting the most suitable operating system for their specific
needs.
