Full Custom Linux Distro Build
Budget: $750 – $1,500 USD
I am seeking a highly-experienced Linux distribution developer to create a fully customized version of Linux based on Elementary OS (Ubuntu). The project must include:
Requirements:
Complete OS Rebranding
Rename all system identifiers to jacxxx (across screens, settings, GRUB, Plymouth, Pantheon desktop, os-release, etc). The identity must be consistent throughout.
Custom Application Store – GEXX
Rebrand AppCenter to GEXX, connected to a custom repository for future app distribution and updates. It must function as the default store.
Windows Application Support
Integrate Wine/Proton (or equivalent) to enable running Windows software. Add a clear entry ("Run Windows Apps") in menus.
Performance & Stability
Deliver a stable, bootable, and installable ISO (Live + Install). Must be tested on both VirtualBox and real hardware.
Deliverables
A complete ISO file ready for deployment.
Brief documentation summarizing the modifications and maintenance steps.
Additional Details:
The project must result in a finalized product where jacxxx (OS) and GEXX (store) are the only visible names. Future renaming will be handled by me.
Preference for a single point of contact — you manage any subcontractors, but deliver a complete and unified package.
Please provide:
Work plan/approach
Estimated timeline
Fixed total cost
