Hey, I need to initialize a program that I'm developing with my friend instead of the desktop environments such as KDE and GNOME, but I don't know where can I edit this to inicialize our program instead desktop.
I'm making a console for my work school using trisquel and doing everything in bash, like a system that runs only games but in the background has the fully system running.
So if you guys can help us it will be great.

I do not understand you problem. Why can't you execute your program withing a desktop environment?

What does it mean "to look like a konsole". You can have a virtual terminal (console if you wish) in any desktop environment (Trisquel has GNOME Terminal by default) and you can have a real terminal (not on top of a X server) by pressing Ctrl+Alt+F1 (or F2, or F3, etc. up to F6). However, since you are talking about games, you probably need the X server.

Maybe you just want to run your Shell script at startup you can add it to the startup applications of the desktop environment. If you want it to be run as root (a terrible idea security-wise), add it to /etc/rc.local.

He seems to want something that's able to initialize like a
desktop environment (that means, after typing the user and
password), and that looks like a menu showing all the games
available in full screen mode immediately after logging in.

I have seem some other GNU+Linux distributions doing
something similar, but I don't remember the names.

Of course, as a matter of user empowerment, it would be
wise to leave TTYs and PTSs/PTYs, and other desktop
management entries (like KDE and GNOME) untouched
(and so making then still available by conventional means,
like Ctrl + Alt + T, Ctrl + Alt + F[1-7], and entries in
LightDM and GDM).

Best regards, ADFENO.
Have a nice day.

Perhaps take a look at the lxlauncher package.

As I can see it was about these commands you were talking about, but they initialize after desktop environment inicializes (not sure). I'm trying to make it inicializes instead of desktop environment

Another workaround rather than a solution but what about Matchbox WM (at least based on what it says on the tin - I haven't tried it myself) with xterm-executing-your-programme autostarted?
