What is the history of threads in operating systems?
Can you tell me about any potential downsides to using threads in an operating system?
One potential downside to using threads is the increased complexity it can bring to an operating system. When multiple threads are running concurrently within a process, it can be difficult to debug and manage the system. Additionally, shared resources can lead to synchronization issues and potential errors if not properly handled.
