Could you build this?
No Operating system kernel development requires deep expertise in low-level x86/ARM architecture, paging, interrupts, memory management, and hardware interfacing that cannot be vibe-coded.
What it would actually take: Building an explanatory kernel involves writing low-level boot code, interrupt descriptor tables (IDT), page table managers, context switchers, and hardware drivers in Rust, C, or assembly, alongside an internal tracing/telemetry subsystem. The primary challenge is bare-metal debugging without OS-level abstractions or standard libraries. Requires deep computer architecture and systems programming expertise.
