What do you want from an Operating System?

As many of you probably know, I am working on a Linux operating system, as I have been for quite some time. I am (finally) almost done, but I need some input on what I can add to make it just a little better then the competitors. Are there any specific things you would like to see in my os?

Re: What do you want from an Operating System?

Should come preinstalled with Steam. Of course, that's wishful thinking, as there is no Linux version of Steam. D:

Easy custom hotkeys. Using a special key, so you could make Alt+Any letter or number start a program.

Re: What do you want from an Operating System?

I like the custom hotkeys idea, I'll try to implement that. Would it be alt+f for firefox for example?

Re: What do you want from an Operating System?

What would you do? Do you have a good understanding of Linux? You could also do the website or code some apps if you can code.

I may be able to do that, but why? It's only four letters.

A few dev jokes, too.

My favorite dev joke:

"Disable CPU cores that you don't like." - My friend's BIOS. LOL.

Re: What do you want from an Operating System?

Shortcuts are implemented. Easter eggs will be added. Any eggs you would specifically like to get in it? Also, what should I preinstall, firefox 4 beta or firefox 3.6?

OOOH EGG!!

If you type in Win as a command or something, you should get the Scratch homepage.

And FF3.6. I don't like 4 Beta. Also include Chrome, it's good cause it's fast, but has less features.

And make some Rick Roll Easter egg.

Re: What do you want from an Operating System?

I personally don't like chrome, but it seems to be overwhelmingly popular, so I guess I'll put it in. As for the Easter eggs, I dont know about the rick roll one, but I'll try to make a link to scratch and to gmail. I would prefer not to link to Facebook, but again, thats just a personal preference.
