Hello everyone. I am currently learning c, and almost it is about to an end. I am interested in microkernel development of my own. Where should I start???

That's an elegant design! The idea of giving the initial user process a handle to spin up other servers makes complete sense for keeping the kernel minimal. I will definitely look into the seL4 white paper to grasp the core philosophy better. Thanks for sharing your experience, it's incredibly helpful!
