A lot of what you are describing exists in Plan 9: Under Plan 9, UNIX's everything is a file metaphor is extended via a pervasive network-centric filesystem, and the cursor-addressed, terminal-based I/O at the heart of UNIX-like operating systems is replaced by a windowing system and graphical user interface without cursor addressing, although rc, the Plan 9 shell, is text-based.

It runs on FreeBSD (x86, x86-64), Linux (x86, x86-64, PowerPC and ARM), Mac OS X (x86, x86-64, and PowerPC), NetBSD (x86 and PowerPC), OpenBSD (x86 and PowerPC), Dragonfly BSD (x86-64), and SunOS (x86-64 and Sparc).
