I have a crazy dream: create a whole new toy desktop OS from

You will learn how useless it is :)

Don't reinvent the wheel.

that was a fun book, if only i didn't have a class on it, i would have liked it more

I suggest reading Operating Systems Design and Implementation (the 3rd edition) and The Design and Implementation of the FreeBSD Operating System.

Also, check-out Redox: https://www.redox-os.org/

It's a nice hobby project, goodluck, don't forget to document things.

If it's only for academic purposes, learn about Minix.

Reinventing the wheel can be frustrating.

Trust me, you don't want that. Make it X11-compatible and that will be enough.

For a start, begin reading Tanenbaum and learn assembly and C.

There will be a minix conference in Munich this September.

Port forth to it, or roll your own. That'd be the least effort. You could do graphics when you're up to how the framebuffer works.

I know C and enough asm to be dangerous

If you dont intend for it to actually be used as a product and you're not too lazy to read breadcroms doc for the SoC which is over 800 pages go for it.
Be warned tho peripherals will be a bich and GPU drivers are out of the question most likely.
Also you wont be able to control what happens in the GPU blob that turns on the cpu and loads the basic fat file system from the sdcard so that might be a bich.
