Hi, Folks,

I don't know if this is the correct section but I couldn't find one that really fits my request.

I'm interested in building a new OS from the ground-up and I would love to find a community interested in this topic. I don't mean about the code but more the fundamental graphical infrastructure of a windows-style OS. I would like to get rid of windows completely and think of a new way to store information.

In other words, we could come up with different graphical representations of data and information. Different methods of manipulating information that is totally different than putting several folders into folders and categorizing by subject, chronology, client, etc. I think we have been sort of stuck too long thinking in the window way and I believe there are other ways to store, manipulate, and transfer information.

I don't have some ideas in mind yet and I would love to discuss ideas for now. Where would I find people interested in something like this? Any help or guidance would be greatly appreciated!

Look at: ls, cp, mv, rename, awk, sed, grep, ssh, scp, sftp, bash, perl, python

Several projects are in various stages of development - all would love new contributor(s) I'm sure.
Maybe start with looking at genode and its associated O/S Sculpt. Then of course there's Haiku and its ilk.

Thank you so much! I'll check out the links and info that you provided. The thing is that I want to start from scratch. Figure out how a computer should fundamentally work as a tool. Using windows don't seem to be the best method. I'm speculating that there is something else. Hope I find someone who wants to talk about this stuff!

Have you tried Linux From Scratch?
