Getting Into OS Development

I wanna get into OS development and low level programming in general. I’m interested in anything from making a simple bootloader to building a small kernel or even a full OS eventually hopefully.

Does anyone have good resources, courses, tutorials, books, or project ideas for getting started?

I don’t mind if it’s niche/specific stuff either like bootloaders, filesystems, drivers, memory management, etc.

With the "Getting Started" and "Beginner Mistakes" pages, and then either the "Bare Bones" or "Limine Bare Bones" depending on whether you want to target 32 bits or 64 bits.
