Description

RISC OS is an operating system for ARM-based computers, originally developed by Acorn Computers in the late 1980s. It is designed to be fast, efficient and easy to use, and is primarily used in home and educational settings. RISC OS is based on a modular design, allowing users to customize their system with the functionality they need. It supports a wide range of software, including text editors, spreadsheets, web browsers, games, educational programs and programming languages. The operating system is also capable of multitasking and networking, making it suitable for a variety of tasks. RISC OS is particularly well suited to low-power devices such as netbooks, and is often used in embedded systems.
