I have been reading this thread with alot of these moments and chose to remain in the shadows. Alas, I can no longer...OP your first post and this one (quoted) both show that you are not ready for the task at hand. I suggest you play with Linux more, and pick a distro or distros or other FOSS projects to assist with. There are plenty of established distros you can help, I am sure they would be more then thankful for the assistance once you prove trustworthy etc... It's not like you can just go to a forum or IIRC and say hey guys I want to help. But I can tell this from your post, your ideas are too scattered, not focused, lack any real attainment potential and borders on trolling or perhaps a kid (that is open to debate).RT77 wrote:If anyone can point me in the direction I would appreciate it. One of the things I would like to do is make my own desktop environment but where do I start with this? I have tried some like Gnome, Mate, Cinnamon, LXDE KDE, etc.. but still hope to customize my own. I have seen openbox and they say it is a window manager not a desktop environment so what else would I need to do to achieve this? Sounds rather complicated, hey I am only human and that is why I'm here to ask questions. I appreciate any help offered. Thanks.
Where do I start with something like creating my own desktop environment? Do I create it while in another Desktop Environment and then switch to the newly created one?
Sorry I am a complete NOOB to all of this so please be kind to this old dude..
If you like openbox, play with distros that offer a customized version and fool around with it, or load a distro that gives you a vanilla experience and fool around with it etc.... The fact that on more than one occasion you declare yourself to be a "complete NOOB" is the answer you are searching for.
I now place my inner dasein on mute.
