Every hard-core OS aficionado has done it: Laid out a grand scheme for creating the perfect OS. Taking all the best features and attributes from the OSes we love, and making sure to assiduously avoid the pitfalls of the OSes we don't. Maybe our goals were modest, and we just wanted a slightly tweaked version of an existing OS. But sometimes we're feeling ambitious, and we have large, creative ideas for revolutionizing computing. Long-time OSNews reader and contributor J. Scott Edwards just couldn't help himself, and he has set about to not only plan, but to try to build his dream OS.

I myself haven't got sleep the last month trying to think a better OS in terms of ease and usability. Now you've got some great ideas but the point is to find other people to contribute, too. Joining a project isn't a bad idea at all maybe unununtu, why not, it sounds promising.
But for me, linux has already taken its route and is like a stone house that the only thing that needs to be done is place a roof.
If we need an iron house then I think we should build the main thing again and name it binux or finux or whatever. Yet the main idea remains the same: Grabbing the best ideas from around and putting them together (open-source-software and GPL are prerequisites for that).
Now from a strategic point of view what I see is if microsoft is to be taken down, we require a massive movement
(such as linux) to keep it all under one name. Now if this project pops here and there we lose the war...
So there's your dillemma! To linux or not to linux?
