Hey my name is Braydon and yes I am trying to make an OS I want to make a similar OS to Ubuntu or Chromebook software don't tell me it is impossible I know it is possible.

I need to know how to make the gui/graphics and make the software work on it to test it out I have Virtual box. What I need to know is what languages I need to write in to make this GUI and the operating system I am also trying to find a website that will help me in making this, I have googled and looked forever but there is no official way Beginning to End, If you tell me to go HERE I will not, it never works for me.

I do know that Linux helps with this but how can I change the boot up image.

Thanks for the help if I get any

It's not impossible - that it exists proves it isn't.

But... You are just one person. Do you have any idea how many different people there are in a team, writing an operating system from scratch?

You could possibly do it, if you are young enough, and live to an old age - but there is a hideous amount of work involved just in a modern GUI - look at .NET and see how large the installation download is and it will give you an idea how much code is involved. And the major chunk of that is all UI...

Seriously? Don't do it. Find a "better" project that you can complete within a reasonable time (a year or so, maybe less) or you will get discouraged and give up.

You make a good point plus I have .NET Installed it took forever but not the answer I was looking for sorry but I think the post above is the winner he gave some places to start off with. But you have a very good point, but I am looking to spend a couple maybe even 10 Years on a project like this I have a team and need some where to start, not to do something better. Thanks anyway.
