Gathering Information Needed To Make new linux OS

[Silicate Wielder]

Okay guys, I'm here to gather info needed to make a new linux OS called Lenerox, I want to know what you guys like Best in Windows, Mac, or any other OS you might be using, you can tell me this in the comments below,

Lenerox is a linux based operating System designed to be more apealing to it's users its currently in a phase that makes it look alot like mac OS X and I need to get it out of this phase.

So basically you take an unmodified Ubuntu, and just add some more software and themes?
I can do that, too.

A distribution is for when you want to take something and do several things differently, such as package management or leadership.
You usually only take a standard kernel and customise the software and theme when you want to distribute a specific setup to your users that you know will work out-of-the-box., such as for a software product.

no, I'm doing this all from scratch, I'm making the themes and everything. this is just what I have currently I want to gather info on what people like best in other Operating Systems and redo the looks from scratch if possible as well as a few other things.
Alot of applications and themes will be replaced.
And as for doing several things differently I have a few ideas in mind

You're making your own distro, no? It's not really a new operating system...you'll have to learn Assembly for that one.

actually I think I will use ubuntu as a model of the real deal, then using the Suse Studio I'll build a proper version and continue from there :)

Oh dear lord of Virtual Teen...not another distro of Linux.

great, just what linux needs, another distro to further fragment and divide its users... this is seriously not something you wanna embark on. Unless you have the required low-level knowledge of how Operating Systems work (Which, no offense, but I doubt) you aren't really gonna do anything that any of the billions of Window Managers, Skinners, etc. for all major Operating Systems can't do right now.

I think its fair bit of effort for something that already exists, don't you?

I don't think Suse Studio will give you want.

The customization skills lack, it's a neat aspect, especially that it's fully online... but how do you plan to load everything? Load your theme to the OS and run a script? I don't know.
