A character-based operating system primarily relies on text-based commands and interfaces, allowing users to interact with the system through a command line or terminal. In contrast, a graphical user interface (GUI) operating system provides a visual environment with windows, icons, and menus, enabling users to interact using a mouse and graphical elements. While character-based systems may be more efficient for experienced users, GUI systems are generally more user-friendly and accessible for the average user. Examples of character-based systems include DOS, while Windows and macOS are examples of GUI operating systems.
Several different versions of UNIX have GUI's or Graphical User Interfaces. The most common example of UNIX with an interface is Mac OS X.
