If you liked the little funny up there, lets get down to business..
I am currently attempting to create a commercially viable operating system that is based off ubuntu to start but eventually will be its own animal all together. I have figured out a bit already as for the past couple of weeks, I've been building and learning, and restarting at the beginning. After all the design troubles, I am sufficiently happy with everything. I already know how to package the OS into an .iso file. There are some things that both linux gnu and ubuntu gnu require of me if I am to use a debian flavor for a template or starting place to building a completely functional OS, and that is what i have done, I need to strip everything Ubuntu off of it and replace with my branding(where the heck is everything to modify? been searching cant find it...Replaced bootsplash though and it functions and GRUB bootloader names)
Now the problem I'm running into is the following now that I have a prototype and a good, functional operating system(finally!!!) as a starting place:
Upon packaging for release, I want the terminal locked out, along with the 'Computer' files(i thought of doing this by installing these on a different partition but would that work?) This is to ensure that the end user can use the computer as it is intended to be used and not attempt to modify any of the files.
I would also like to have some installer that runs like you see in Ubuntu 19.04 and other versions(interactive helper with predetermined scripts to run for partitioning.
Connect the app store and updater to a specific repository(already set up a cloud server to host the files) for continued updates to the OS by installing the .iso base OS with its updates like you would to upgrade from Ubuntu 18.10 to 19.04.
The OS I started with was Ubuntu 19.04 Disco Main release LTS.
The idea behind the OS I am developing is to be deployable on multiple devices and each device have continuous connectivity and software compatibility(eg game console, laptop, tv box, etc just differing desktop environments) and for it to be a consumers one stop shop for pc computing needs. The OS(tested) will run some windows programs(with some errors as i have not modified the winehq place holder for when i eventually develop my own version of this based from wine source) Mac OSX applications, and linux applications(obviously as its ubuntu based) Someday I would like to get the OS completely different all on its own like the difference between Windows and Mac OSX regarding execution architectures and grow into a unique operating system all on its own.
I know there are a ton of knowledgeable people on this forum as I have already done a bit of the work already, now I need help.
