Open source dev operating system.?

Ok, so I have Mac OSX 10.4.11 running tiger. I want an open source operating system that will support mainly java, python, unix, C, and C++. Can I download GNOME for mac? It looks like just what I've been looking for.

Gnome is just one of the GUI for Linux. Mac OS X already has a far superior GUI. Open source more refers to the licencing agreement of the software written then it does the operating system.

Basically you can write open source on Windows if you like doesnt matter and Mac OSX already supports the listed languages to my understanding.

The only reason people use Open Source Operating systems is when they have a specific need for an operating system to provide some function that they do not already at the kernel level. That is, you are able to modify the core of an operating system unlike Mac OSX or Windows OS.

Hope this has cleared up any misunderstandings you may have had to the purpose of Open source OS
