How can i create my own GUI ontop of a linux os?
hi im trying to build my own tablet computer. my original idea was to build the os from scratch but then i thought it would be easyeir to build a GUI on top of a linux os. the idea would be that it would be linux in esance but would boot into my gui instaed of ubunto or fedora or something. the problem is i cant find any tools that i could do this with. I found sites that say i can create my own distro but they turn out to only do things like preinstall software. i realy want something that basicly lets me remake the GUI. I have limeted knowlodge of linux but i have programed games and software before. any tips or programing environments are welcome.

Hello and welcome to the forums!
The current GUIs that are available for Linux are open source software, so you can download the code and take a look at it to see how they've done it to give you some ideas for creating your own.oz
