Building my own OS on linux kernel

First of all I know treehouse doesn't have any course on OS. But I really want to build one for myself. I googled it, but there are no good tutorials out their which teach you to build it from level 1. If you guys have any such tutorial which teaches you to build an OS on linux kernel from scratch, please suggest it.

If you want to build your own OS, I suggest you to read Andrew Tanenbaums' books:

  • Operating Systems: Design and Implementation, co-authored with Albert Woodhull
  • Modern Operating Systems
  • Distributed Operating Systems
  • Structured Computer Organization
  • Distributed Systems: Principles and Paradigms, co-authored with Maarten van Steen
