Is there a book one can read to learn how to create one?

I'd suggest https://os.phil-opp.com/ instead of a book from long ago. There is no reason to drag yourself through C anymore.

And if you do want the more historical content, https://www.projectoberon.net/

That is an excellent recommendation. For Operating Systems anything Andy Tanenbaum did is world class.

This made me look up what he has been up to, there is a 2023 edition of "Modern Operating Systems" which covers cloud virtualization and Android along with everything that came before, hm, tempting.

We really need a Tech Writer Hall of Fame. W. Richard Stevens, Andrew Tanenbaum, P.J. Plauger. Others?

Kernighan!

And how can we leave out the OG of tech writers: Donald Knuth. He got a bit distracted by developing TeX but he got a well deserved Turing award for the series.
