Although 90% of all desktop computers use Windows as their
operating system, there are two popular alternatives – Apple’s Mac OS and the
Linux open-source operating system. In this assignment, you will investigate an
operating system other than the one you usually use to see how it handles
common operating system functions.

Note: A popular Linux OS is Ubuntu (As an open-source
operating system it is FREE).If you
choose to test Linux you can use this link for easy to follow instructions.

(Links to an external
site.)

.You will want to
select the “How to create a bootable USB stick on Windows” or”How to create a bootable USB stick on
MacOS” so you can test Ubuntu without changing or affecting your current
Operating System.(A USB stick is also
known as a USB Flash drive or USB Thumbdrive).

Find a friend, relative, or co-worker with a computer that
uses an operating system that you don’t usually use (Windows, Mac OS, or
Linux). Try out the operating system, and observe how the following operations
work compared with the operating system that you normally use.

Create a folder, Find a file, Copy a file into a folder, Move
a file into a folder, Rename a file, Delete a file, Delete a folder

Include the following in your report:

1.The name and version of the operating system you
tested, and the name and version of the operating system you normally use.

2.A step by step description of how you tested
each process in each operating system, what you observed, and how it differed
from what you normally experience.
