Hi,
I create a new GUI for a Linux distribution. Here is the concept:

Air GUI will be a free (Open Source) Graphical User Interface for Linux and it will be installed as default on Air OS Linux (that is the distribution that I create).
To create this Interface I need your help. If you are want to help me you can send me a message.
Thank.

Thank you for post the link (I can not post links because I have not enough posts).

How do you think about it?

[rokytnji]

Looks cool. But I am just a Nethanderal Biker that uses Linux. No/Nada coding skills. Sorry.

Looks interesting. Is it aimed at tablets (touchscreen) or mouse controlled or both?

[bluecode]

First it will be mouse controlled (I only can create it mouse controlled because I have no touchscreen).
But I would be happy if someone can help me to port it to tablet pcs

Sure looks interesting. I might just give it a glance once my own OS is ready to start doing graphics. Maybe it's worth porting by then.

[bluecode]

Yes I think it'll be great if you can port it to other Operating Systems!
Tell us more about your Operating System.
Will it have some source code from Linux? How much is written in C/C++? And will it be Open Source?

[Bemk]

It's GPL v3, and it was my intention to keep the code rather simple.

It's probably more of a competitor to Minix than to Linux, as it is designed for learning purposes.

It still is a long way away from running a graphics environment and when it is ready for it, your WM will probably have evolved to the extent of usability.

I won't guarantee that I'll use it, for if the code is written in a Linus Torvalds manner, I probably won't use it as I want the code to be easy to read, so people can learn from it.

I still haven't used actual Linux code, but if you want you may make contributions and if I feel it's worth including in my branch, I certainly will.

The code can be found at https://github.com/bemk/orionOS.

As for my progress. I'm still working on the compressed image trying to load the high memory image (with all the drivers and stuff) as a module provided by a multiboot compliant bootloader (such as grub, or the one my friend is working on).

As for the assembly syntax. We both preffer the Intel syntax over the AT&T one, which means we use nasm.

I have provided an openteditor.sh script which uses kate to open all the source files and make test builds and runs it in a the qemu virtual machine (it doesn't add the core image as module, so that may fail).

Probably if you install build-essential, nasm and qemu, you should be fine. You can test it properly by using grub for now.
