Could you build this?

No Building an operating system or specialized OS distribution requires deep low-level systems programming, hardware abstraction, and kernel-level expertise.

What it would actually take: A project like an OS requires assembly, C/Rust, kernel architecture knowledge (or deep customization of Linux kernel/Yocto/Buildroot for embedded boards like Raspberry Pi), bootloader configuration, and driver integration. Vibe coding cannot navigate bare-metal hardware constraints and low-level debugging.
