This was a Lenovo. Now I’m wondering if Windows or Linux has a better BIOS.

    hmm. it’s a good point. it seems to me though that that just isn’t what “operating system” refers to, since these programs can’t actually manage the system in a meaningful way or do anything you’d really expect from an OS.

      But circling back to OP’s screenshot it only mentions that it’s part of the OS. A pretty small part these days compared to DOS, but it’s still doing stuff.

      I guess it comes down to whether you consider all the initialisation/bootstrap/hardware configuration routines to be part of an operating system.
