Which type of operating system is used by mainframe computers?

z/OS, a widely used mainframe operating system, is designed to offer a stable, secure, and continuously available environment for applications running on the mainframe. As a control program, z/Virtual Machine (z/VM) is a hypervisor because it runs other operating systems in the virtual machines it creates.
For desktop and laptop computers, Windows is the most used at 75%, followed by Apple's macOS at 15%, and Linux-based operating systems, at 5% (i.e. "desktop Linux" at 2.48%, plus Google's ChromeOS at 2.38%, in the US up to 3.2%).
