Distro would have the following focus:
1. battery life; above 9hrs [CRITICAL]
2. beautiful and fast UI [CRITICAL]
3. intuitive and pleasing UX [CRITICAL]
4. developer focus: stack exchange integration, git/Mercurial plus GitHub, GitLab integration in explorer. tons of programmable interfaces for booting, screen etc. [CRITICAL]
4. only support for resolution 1080p and above (1920x1080)
5. only support for high-end pcs and laptops
6. limited drivers support to a small set of Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and other common devices (based on who's willing to pay)
7. Linux based and open source
8. no support for legacy drivers and devices
Expected audience is a small set of maybe around 10,000 people / developers who are willing to use it as their primary operating system and have an eye for battery life, design and speed.
Given these focus areas how much would you be willing to pay? If not for the OS itself, but for its development over a period of 2 years?
