"writing an OS" is a sweeping, unsupported and inaccurate statement. You can be involved in Linux and, say, write the ext4 filesystem or Wifi drivers. Those are pretty low-level. You could also write shell utilities like ls in probably anything where you're just using OS APIs. Is that low-level? I would say not.

If you read only one of these papers, then please just read the first one, but please note the author credits on almost all of them.

Here is a different link with the same contents: https://9p.io/sys/doc/ https://9p.io/sys/doc/
