I wonder - does the GUI really belong to the OS? In all the examples I can give, the GUI is an application that runs on top of kernel and hosts the graphics calls. However all the systems I know have the non-gui applications which can run before.
So I'd say that GUI is not a part of the OS... Please tell if you agree or not
- mmphosis 1y agoI'd say it depends on the purpose of the OS. The original Mac had graphics routines in ROM. It would be cool to have instant on devices.
- shetaye 1y agoArguably the OS includes the entire distribution, not just the kernel. MacOS ships the window server and the entire graphics stack, so the GUI is certainly part of MacOS, and so at least some OSes include a GUI.
