On the early computers, NO! It was not until the late 1950s that operating systems became available and the first ones were written and maintained by customers for their own needs. The computer manufacturers all saw their role as limited to supplying hardware only.
No, there were not operating systems in the earliest days of electronic digital computing.

Operating systems (OS) are software that manage computer hardware and software resources while providing common services for computer programs. They act as an intermediary between users and the computer hardware. The main types of operating systems include batch operating systems, time-sharing operating systems, distributed operating systems, real-time operating systems, and network operating systems. Additionally, there are specialized operating systems for mobile devices, such as Android and iOS, as well as embedded systems used in various appliances.
