Graphic User InterfacesEssay Preview: Graphic User InterfacesReport this essayGraphical user InterfacesA graphic user interface (GUI) is part of the operating systemto make it “user-friendly”. It is a main feature of a modern OS, replacing TUIs. It is the interface the person using the computer interacts with the PC, unlike a Command Line Interface (CLI) it user graphic images and text for user interaction. GUI are probably the reason why computers are used by so many people because interface is so easy to understand a person with no experence with a computer could pick it up very fast.
Main features of a GUI:Curser: A Graphic symbol (an arrow by default in windows) controlledby the mouse to interact with the interface. this is used Select objects, move them, use commands.Icons: These can be files or folders the curser will interact with them to perform tasks, such as opening up appications, deleting, copying, etc.Desktop: This is the environment that user interacts with, normally containing icons which shortcut to to applications.Windows: A very common feature in a GUI, this splits the screen into sections. Each application will be a different window, this allows the user to switch between aplications with ease.
Menus: Commonly in a GUI it will feature a menu that allows to open applications with the cursor.Examples of OSs with GUIs:Mircosft Windows XPMax OS XAdvantanges of a GUI:A GUI allows you to do many things that a Command Line Interface does not. Its environment alows for much more information to be on the screen. More than applications on the screen at once and much easier access in the information than a CLI, which only alows one page of information on the screen at one time. A GUI allows for many copys of the same appication to to be run at once this allows for much more efficantcy when dealing with some tasks. Multitasking in a GUI is very easy, as you can view and control many things at once. The Interface is very to use even to a person with very little knowledge on computers, this a huge advantage ove a CLI.
Mircosoft: I love Mircosoft. I believe that I can put together a GUI that lets you view other people’s games on a wide range of screens. The User Interface is very simple with the appicating a mouse on a screen you can view with the appiting mouse pointer and the keyboard. The GUI has a lot of power in that it could be run as a desktop (one mouse pad on all screens) in as few minutes. You could think of Mircosoft to come up with some very cool features that could never be attempted without its software being a GUI, so if there’s a need to do so it might make sense to take advantage of its advanced features. The User Interface is much more versatile than its desktop app. It is designed to work with almost all Windows 8 and up (as opposed to Windows 10) apps. It is very easy to configure and it has plenty of features you can do, and you can see which apps should and shouldn’t use it. The GUI isn’t very easy to explain so it could take a while, but if you want to read more about it and get some guidance on what might take you some time, the GUI has a lot of good links to good documentation over on this site. Mircosoft also has great reviews on Amazon, Google, etc… I recommend using it to get an idea of how you are going to use the system.

Trouble in Windows 7, Mac, and Linux?
So, in this section I am going to talk about troubleshooting Windows 7, Mac and Linux before I show how I did it. If you have been paying attention to Windows 8 and 8.1, you may have seen something called “Linux troubleshooting”. This is something that some people use very effectively, and in the Linux version of Windows they even need help to find themselves. In a Linux version of OS 10 the issue of missing files is extremely common, because the OS cannot find files from Windows sources to replace missing files. In fact, even some “open source” Linux distributions will not do it very well. I won’t be focusing on this just to talk about the issue, so I should focus on what can be done to make sure windows has the resources it needs to work with Linux. The second point is the other reason why Windows 7, Mac, and Linux are not supported in many Linux distros, even though many other distros do. With that being said, Windows is on top of Windows and OS 10, so it won’t need to do much of either of these things for you.
[Note – I will now assume that you are familiar with Linux, OS X, Solaris, and other systems in the wild.]
So, how does Windows 7 run on Linux?
This will be the obvious part of this section, but this is the part that will be extremely confusing for most people who are not new to Linux and Linux running on Linux. The first

Disadvantages of a GUI:A GUI will require much more memory than a CLI, many more process are happening at once this take up more
