Coding a linux-based OS

Building a Linux-based operating system involves a journey of configuration and customization with a lot of groundwork already laid.
The Linux kernel is the heart of any Linux-based OS that manages system resources, handles memory management, and oversees process scheduling. It provides flexibility, stability, and immense community support with modular design.
The bootloader is responsible for getting the system up and running and most people use GRUB (Grand Unified Bootloader) for Linux-based systems.
System initialization comes next and is where init systems like SysVinit, runit comes into play. Systemd is the standard init system in Linux that manages processes, services, logging, and more.
Hardware management with the Linux kernel already includes support for a vast range of hardware devices making managing hardware much smoother compared to writing device drivers from scratch.
Choosing the right file system like ext4, Btrfs, and XFS depends on the user's needs for a Linux-based system.
Adding a desktop environment like GNOME or KDE provided with display servers like X11 or Wayland for a graphical user interface is essential for desktop OS.
The shell is where users interact with the system for running commands and managing files on the Linux system.
The process of building a Linux-based OS is to find the balance between customizing for specific use cases and leveraging the immense power of the Linux ecosystem.
Configuring, optimizing, and integrating these components are needed to create a seamlessly user-friendly operating system after the groundwork is laid for Linux-based OS.
