Re: General way to start writing OS
Since you asked for the easy answers:
In getting an OS to work: have infinite motivation and an IQ of over 150.
In getting an OS on the market: forget it.
If you want an answer with more nuance, read Beginner Mistakes and Getting Started

Re: General way to start writing OS
Start by learning the programming language of your choice - not just by reading a book, you really need to know what you are doing.

Once you know about the language of your choice, choose a hardware platform, learn how it works and start programming it to really learn how it works.
Finally, design your OS.

I just waded in and started writing a kernel in a way that would give me some form of return as soon as possible. eg I wrote a rudimentary print function and then moved on to keyboard input after that. It may not be the best way to go about it but this way I can see something happening which helps to keep me focused.

One line: If you have to ask, don't.
No easy way, sorry. In OS development, your choice is limited to "very hard" and "unrealistic".

Every good solution is obvious once you've found it.
Re: General way to start writing OS
