Explanation

The operating system manages the hardware and runs programs. It also gives the user a way to interact with the computer, through a screen, menus or commands. Windows, Android and Linux are examples.

Application software does a user task, such as word processing. The CPU and ALU only process instructions and do not control the whole system.
