How do you exit the operating system on computers?

Basically, you shut the computer down. Procedure for that depends on the specific operating system. Operating system is what makes a computer do things. Even the thing the loads the main operating system for a given computer is a small operating system in itself. For example, the thing that loads Windows or Linux up is called BIOS, and that stands for Basic Integrated Operating System. Once you exit all the operating system(s) you may as well shut down the machine (if it does not shut down by itself.)
