    Need a software devolper and an artist

    Hello all of the Ubuntu Universe.

    First off i want to say if you help me i will not take any credit for creating this Operating system.

    A couple weeks ago i was playing my Xbox 360 and this idea hit me. "what if there was a Linux distro that looked and behaved like the new update of the Xbox 360 os."

    Now i have searched for over 2 weeks and found nothing. Absoulty nothing. The only things i could find is how t put linux on a xbox and how to make a xbox 360 laptop.

    Now comes the fun part. I need someone that can modify the Ubuntu operating system to work line the Xbox os and someone to make the actual "GUI" (graphical user interface) that everyone will see the moment they start the computer.
    sorry i cant help with more but i can test compatibility with computers because i have a lot of computers.

    I'm sure that some people won't like this idea but i think that this can be a very promising distro of linux.

    If anyone can help me with this plan, Please contact me ether by replying to this post or messaging me.

    Thank you to all even if you don't help

    PS. if you do help with my quest, please make it compatible with Bradcom wireless drivers and older laptops ex.Dell latitude d400

    What you want is a custom version of GRUB, not an OS.

    Awesome! So all we have to do is make it!

    A couple weeks ago i was playing my Xbox 360 and this idea hit me. "what if there was a Linux distro that looked and behaved like the new update of the Xbox 360 os."
    Well, that would be awful. What would the point be, other than just to copy it's interface, which frankly, would be very poor for anything that you couldn't do on a Xbox 360.

    Now i have searched for over 2 weeks and found nothing. Absoulty nothing. The only things i could find is how t put linux on a xbox and how to make a xbox 360 laptop.
    A whole two weeks, and still you found nothing? :O

    Now comes the fun part. I need someone that can modify the Ubuntu operating system to work line the Xbox os and someone to make the actual "GUI" (graphical user interface) that everyone will see the moment they start the computer.
    Aha! So what you want us to do is to singlehandly create a DE? Well, it's possible, sure. It will take a while and the end product won't be anything like what you want it to be, but if you're happy to pay I'm happy to make!

    sorry i cant help with more but i can test compatibility with computers because i have a lot of computers.
    Awesome! I think your name should be in the credits - "chief tester"

    I'm sure that some people won't like this idea but i think that this can be a very promising distro of linux.
    No doubt. Just what everyone needs a Xbox 360 clone that can do very little of what the Xbox 360 can do!

    If anyone can help me with this plan, Please contact me ether by replying to this post or messaging me.
    Certainly, I'm contacting you right away!

    Thank you to all even if you don't help
    No problem!

    PS. if you do help with my quest, please make it compatible with Bradcom wireless drivers and older laptops ex.Dell latitude d400
    Ah, you want us to make sure all drivers work too? That's no problem; once I've finished making the interface I'll get to work on the drivers. Do you like limos or just coms?

    Great idea! Let's replace bootloaders with Xbox 360 interface clones! Ever wanted internet in your grub? No worries, now you can thanks to our patented limo drivers.
