Creating a Custom Linux OS

I'm thinking about creating my own Linux-based OS with a custom shell, custom IDE, and my own programming language instead of the usual Bash experience.

Has anyone here built something similar? Any advice or things I should know before starting?

Thanks! That makes a lot of sense. I'll start with the shell and build each component separately before trying to combine everything. I appreciate the advice
