Wannan nau’in babbar manhajar kwamfuta ta hada da wadda ke dauke cikin kwamfutar tafi-da-gidanka, wato Laptop, da kwamfutar kan tebur, wato Desktop.

Babbar manhajar kwamfuta ta gama-gari tana da siffofi guda uku muhimmai. Na farko shi ne: an gina ta ne musamman don amfanin mutum guda, wato “Single User.”  Wannan bai hana idan kana amfani da kwamfuta mai dauke da wannan nau’in babbar manhaja ta iya kara hurumin wasu don suyi amfani da kwamfutar a sadda ba ka nan ko ka bukace su da yi.  Daman kowace babbar manhajar kwamfuta kan zo ne da tsarin mai mu’amala da ita shi kadai, watau: “Administrator” kenan.

Nau’in babbar manhaja ta biyu kuma ita ce “Na Zangon Sadarwa,” wato “Network Operating System” kenan a harshen fannin kwamfuta.  Ita wannan babbar manhajar kwamfuta ta zangon sadarwa, an gina ne musamman don aiwatar da sadarwa a tsakanin kwamfutar da ke dauke da ita da sauran kwamfuta irinta ko kuma “Gama-gari.”  Ire-iren wadannan babbar manhajar kwamfuta ba kowa ke iya sarrafa su ba, saboda suna ne da wasu manhajoji ko masarrafai na musamman wadanda sai kwararru ke iya mu’amala da su.  Galibin kwamfutocin da ke dauke da shafukan yanar gizo a Intanet, duk suna dauke ne da wannan nau’in babbar manhaja. Domin daman fagensu kena; aiwatar da sadarwa cikin sauki, da inganci, da kuma nagarta.

Su kuma nau’in babbar manhaja ta Zangon Sadarwa, suna da siffofi guda hudu ne da ke sa a gane su.  Siffa ta farko ita ce: mutane sama da daya na iya amfani da ita ko wani bangarenta a lokaci guda.  Wannan tsari shi ake kira “Multi User.”  Saboda babbar manhajar na wannan tsari a tare da ita.

Da zarar an kashe su, to, ba za ka iya kaiwa ga bayanan da ke dauke a cikinsu ba.

Siffa ta karshe ita ce: tana da kariya na musamman, wajen kare bayanan da ke cikinta, da kariya ga dukkan kafofin sadarwarta.  Domin wannan shi ne babban marabi tsakaninta da babbar manhajar Gama-gari, musamman babbar manhajar zangon sadarwa nau’in Linux/UNIX.  Tana da manhajoji da tsare-tsare (Configuration Settings) na musamman da ke taimaka mata wajen kare duk bayanan da take dauke dasu, da wadanda take karba daga wasu kwamfutoci, da wadanda kuma take mikawa.
