First of all we can discuss about operating system:

A operating system is a software that provide interface between the user and the hardware. The computer cannot perform any task without operating system. The operating system control and manage the operation of computer hardware. There are many types of operating system.

  • Microsoft Windows
  • Mac OS
  • Linux
  • Unix
  • Ubuntu etc

Some operating system are GUI and Some are CLI. Now we can discuss about GUI and CLI.

GUI:

GUI stands for Graphical User Interface. This type of operating system provide graphical interface to the user to work on it easily. This type of operating system is gives friendly environment. The user can work on it by clicking the icons and open the file etc without write any command. Your Microsoft Windows and Mac OS is the great example of graphical user interface.

CLI:

CLI stands for Command Line Interface. This type of operating system is used by pro workers. In this type of operating system the user can type commands to the open file, delete file and any other work. This type of operating system is difficult to used by any normal computer user. But you can do much more things in it. Which you can’t do on graphical user interface because its provide root access to the user.
