AspectOS - A Linux-Based OS

Welcome to the new thread! This is where we work on AspectOS, which is now a real OS.
Links
Joining
Please use the following form to join:
Username:
GitHub Username (required if you have it):
What you're good at:
Time Zone (this helps us understand when you are awake and when you are asleep):
Positions
Recently we did away with this system. Members are now encouraged to do what they can to help out.
Rules
As usual, rules have to be made in order to join the AspectOS team.
- You have to be 13+ to join the team if you will be using GitHub. We require everyone to be above this age requirement as GitHub is required for this project and Github states that it doesn't want users under 13 in their ToS. It may take up to a day or two to be added, as Redstone1080 and AIGamesDeveloper are busy with school most of the time.
- Skill is required. If you don't know what you are doing, then don't join. If you want to join, but don't want to do the difficult things because you don't have access to a lot of things (like a computer), or just can't do them, then you can choose a much easier position, like graphic designer.
- Be active. We don't have a big team so one of our biggest priorities is to be active most of the time. If you can't be able to work on the OS in advance, let us know and we will make sure that you are counted as out for the given period of time. You may not take more than a 2-week break unless an urgent emergency.
- ToS/ToU violations are NOT allowed in any websites or external tools that we will be using for this project. If any terms get broken for these tools, you will receive a warning. Multiple offenses could even lead into a removal from the team, so please follow the rules for all of the websites we will be using
More rules will be added soon
Contribution Rules
When you have an idea to share, you can use the ideas thread or the GitHub org discussions to submit ideas, which team members can vote on.
After it gets 3 votes (upvote adds 1 vote, downvote subtracts 1 vote) it will be added to the todo list where if someone wants to work on it, they can, and it will be moved to “In Progress”. After it's completed, it will be moved to “Done” for 4 days and then be removed.
Contributors
Here are the contributors who work on AspectOS. Without them, AspectOS wouldn't exist! Their @ is NOT their social media and is their GitHub profiles.

Didn't someone suggest Material Shell for GNOME? I just downloaded it and it is pretty nice.

I might do away with “positions” and instead have everyone do what they can, so they aren't restricted to anything. instead, there will be a section for what you're good at so assignments can be made based on skill in specific areas.
All in favour? (just quote this post for “yes” without adding any other text)

can we use KDE plasma for the main DE? I installed it after my recent ordeal with GNOME (as in like 45 minutes ago or something) and it looks really nice.

Nah, the world's biggest SSD (and storage device overall, the largest HDD is only 26 TB, by Western Digital) is 100 TB from Nimbus, and costs $40,000, and you will need 10 of those, so $400,000. But of course it's not impossible to get, the whole Internet is estimated to be at 5 exabytes
I was assuming hard drives because 1PB of SSDs would be even more impractical
also $400,000 for 1000TB is a really bad price/TB. it’d be more cost-efficient to get a bunch of little SSDs.

if you want my advice for this topic? create polls asking for people’s input and then put the results in the OP. otherwise you’ll be spinning around in circles for another 40 pages over what you’re actually doing and you’ll never really do it.

Any chance I could be promoted to an owner in the GitHub? I’m guessing that we’re still under Aurora inc, and if so then I have power here

It isn't for me…Something in the link isn't right, which is the cause of the 404. The corrected link is https://github.com/orgs/AspectOS/projects
