OPS102 – Week 1 - Sample Lab We’re surrounded by computers! Let’s find out what operating systems they are running. To perform this lab, you’ll need to do some investigation and research. 1. Laptop/Desktop Computer Select your laptop or desktop computer, or a Seneca desktop in a lab or computing commons. a. What operating system is this computer running? Windows 11 Home b. What version of that operating system? 23H2 c. What build or update of that version? 22631.3007 d. Is this primarily a proprietary or open source operating system? It is a proprietary OS. e. Identify at least one piece of open source software that forms part of that operating system. What is the name of that software? One popular open-source operating system is Linux. One piece of it is the Linux kernel. The Linux kernel is the core component of the Linux operating system and serves as a bridge between the hardware and the user- level software. f. Under which open source license is that software provided? The Linux is released under the GNU General Public Licence version 2 (GPLc2). This license, created by the Free Software Foundation (FSF), is a copyleft license that ensures the source code of the software remains open and accessible by users. g. When was the version released? Windows: 31.10.2023 h. When is support for that version of the operating system scheduled to end? Windows: November 2025 i. How do you access the GUI of that operating system? How do you access the CLI? Graphical User Interface GUI is the default interface we see when the operating system is running. We can access it by logging in with our username and password, using mouse/keypad. Command Line interface CLI (Command Prompt or PowerShell) can access: - Win + R to open the Run dialog. - cmd – Command Prompt, powershell – PowerShell.

2. Consumer Electronics Device Select a consumer electronics device that you own, such as a smartphone, TV, streaming media player, or router. If you don’t own a suitable device, research one that you would like to own! a. What is the device brand, name, and model? IPhone 11 Pro Max b. What operating system is it running? iOS c. What version of that operating system? 16.3.1 d. What build or update of that version? 20D67 e. Is this primarily a proprietary or open source operating system? Proprietary OS. f. Identify at least one piece of open source software that forms part of that operating system. What is the name of that software? One of the open-source mobile operating systems is Android. One significant open-source software component within the Android operating system is the Linux kernel itself, which provides core functionality. g. Under which open source license is that software provided? Android is released under the Apache License 2.0, which is a permissive open-source license. It allows users to freely use, modify, and distribute the software. However, any modifications to the original code must be clearly marked. h. How can you obtain the source code for the open source portions of the operating system? For open-source operating systems like Android, we can access the source code on the official AOSP (Android Open Source Project) website or directly on the Android Git repositories. We can use Git to clone the repository to our local machine. Once we have the source code, we can follow the instructions provided by the Android documentation to build the system for our specific device.
