Could you build this?

No A Go kernel that runs unmodified Linux binaries is low-level systems work involving CPU boot, memory management, and Linux ABI/syscall compatibility, which vibe coding alone cannot deliver reliably.

What it would actually take: You would need to write a bootable x86-64 (or ARM) kernel with paging, interrupt handling, and a process loader, then emulate or implement the Linux syscall interface and ELF loading well enough for real binaries. This requires experienced OS and low-level systems engineers, extensive testing against real binaries, and hardware or VM debugging.
