Or you could write your own OS ... that's how Linux came around, some dude (Linus Torvalds) decided to write his own OS. Wink Smile

Linus Torvalds started work on the linux kernel with the help of other people.

An OS is much more than a kernel, hell, a boot loader is an entirely separate project.

True, but let's not have the "Linux should be called GNU/Linux" argument here.
