I want an operating system that I can control COMPLETELY. I mean every single function I can control it. The only way would be to create an operating system of my own. How time consuming and difficult would it be to create an OS? And where would I start?
If you want to control it, then there must be something about other versions that you don't approve of. If you are familiar with that low level code of how the OS works, then how are you asking where to begin? I just don't understand this level of desire.
Hey, I complain that cars are made with plastic & fiberglass when they used to be made of steel. But you don't see me building my OWN car, from scratch.
For the time that it will take for you to truely understand every component of an OS. I'd stay stick with Linux. If you must create your own OS, get yourself an assembler & start writing a boot loader. Keep in mind that's just getting you started. At this point you are only controlling how the PC turns on & access hardware to start the OS. Then create yourself a kernel, that doesn't do much (as previously pointed out). Now start building your file input output, storage, file systems, yada yada.
Best of luck to you.
