You went from building a personal Linux (doable but probably not worth it) to building your own OS with bespoke network stack.
Honestly, I’m skeptical that this would be worthwhile unless the new OS itself is the end goal. There’s no shortage of hobby OSes (many now built by some lone dev using AI), but among these projects, most don’t make it past the first point release.
Even thinking your way through the requirements of a small OS is a lot of work. It’s not impossible, but unless you want to get into OS dev, it’s probably not worth the energy when there are already a number of decent options.
