Same. I'm looking for challenging projects to improve my skills. I've learned a lot from implementing language interpreters. I'm guessing OS implementation can be equally rewarding.

I've looked at the Minix and Xinu books, which are probably the most practical books available. But these appear to be describing existing code instead of guiding you to code along. Anyone knows good resources that guide you from scratch?

Check "Operating System Design Book Series": https://www.fysnet.net/osdesign_book_series.htm

Just remember I own the first 2 books, and haven't finished studying it. Oh well :p

Lots of books on operating systems and concepts. Check your local library. Otherwise https://wiki.osdev.org/Main_Page

Thanks. That seems as a good resource and would probably stumble on that when I learn more specific things to search for.

Thanks. Hopefully some hidden gems show up. :-)
