In this day and age, it would be quite difficult to create an operating system. In 1980, when personal computers came as kits, it was easy to unassemble the operating system, CP/M, and then create your own operating system. This was done and different companies used competing operating systems. Three operating systems now exist, Microsoft, Linux, and UNIX. They are far, far more complex than CP/M. It would be possible to get a copy of CP/M and study the code. You could make a computer start and stop. You could make it do a few simple things. You could not begin to create an operating system to compete with one of the big three.
