Hi monax, I would like to hear how you started the project. I am also currently trying to implement my own micro kernel, with hopes of doing something similar to SkiftOS in order to learn OS fundamentals, but I don't know how to start. What are the first things to tackle when taking on such a project?

I don’t know what I can tell you, I think where you start and how you start don’t really matter. The important thing is to keep going. These kinds of projects are a lot of work, and as long as you keep making progress, you’ll eventually get to what you want.

Thank you for the reply, one more thing. Did you study established code bases and/or books to guide you through the architecture process and initial implementation? If so, how do you take advantage of these resources without falling into the trap of "borrowing" implementation while trying to build your vision?

What you did here is really cool and inspiring :).

I always paste this book here when hobby OSes appear. I wrote my own GUI OS in the 90s and I couldn't have done it without this. Copies available on your usual shadow library I would imagine...
