Abstract

The main purpose of research is comparison of the following modern operating systems: Windows 10, Windows 11, MacOS Catalina and Linux Ubuntu 20.04 LTS. An analysis was made in terms of functionalities and time needed to perform basic activities. The systems were selected on the basis on performed popularity analysis, by using StatCounter [1] statistic. To study each operating system it was necessary to create two test stands corresponding to the requirements of the systems. Conducted research were divided on two sections. In the first one, analysis of the possessed functionalities, assessment of the advancement and ease of using them was performed. In the second section, examination was carried out to compare the operating system in terms of the time of performing specific activities.
