A computer system has many resources that may be required to solve a problem: CPU time, memory space, file-storage space, I/O devices, and so on. The operating system acts as the manager of these resources. Facing numerous and possibly conflicting requests for resources, the operating system must decide how to allocate them to specific programs and users so that it can operate the computer system efficiently and fairly.

The special purpose of the operating system is to manage the computer hardware resources. The operating system also provides common services for the computer programs.
The processor time is a function of the processor. The memory allocation is a function of the operating system.
The operating system provides a way for the user to manage system hardware and resources while providing a reasonably usable interface for the user to be able to use it.
The primary function of Unix is the same as it would be for an Operating System - to manage resources and provide security.
Unix internals refer to the algorithms and techniques used by the resident operating system to manage resources.
Resources are the responsibility of the operating system (OS). The programmer can request resources from the OS, but must release them to the system as soon as they are no longer required. As such, the programmer must manage the resources required by the program.
Yes
If there is no OS, you can't boot your PC, and therefore, can't do anything but access BIOS until you install an OS. You can do nothing without an OS. problems if no operating system to manage computer system
