Abstract
An electronic device for executing various operating systems is provided. The electronic device includes first and second hardware devices, a first operating system (OS), a second OS different from the first OS, and a processor configured to control the first hardware device to process first data from a first program executed on the first OS, obtain a command for executing the second OS, generate a container for executing the second OS based on a kernel of the first OS in response to the command for executing the second OS, execute the second OS on the generated container, execute a second program on the second OS, obtain second data regarding the second program from the second OS via socket communication by a control application installed on the first OS, and control the second hardware device to process the second data regarding the second program based on the first OS using the installed control application.
