hostoperatsioonisüsteemi

Hostoperatsioonisüsteemi is the Estonian term for a host operating system. In computing, a host operating system is the primary operating system that runs on a physical machine, also known as the host. This operating system manages the computer's hardware resources such as the CPU, memory, storage, and peripherals, and provides a platform for applications to run. Examples of host operating systems include Windows, macOS, and various Linux distributions. When virtualization is employed, the host operating system is distinct from the guest operating systems that run within virtual machines on the host. The host OS is responsible for allocating resources to these virtual machines. It acts as the foundation upon which all other software, including the hypervisor (if present) and the guest OSs, operates. The performance and stability of the host operating system are crucial for the overall functioning of the computer and any virtualized environments it hosts.
