    Note that a LOT of the work is done outside of the kernel. If you want to replace all that, you'll essentially be writing drivers, memory managers, etc. I suspect you'd want to include at least glibc, libmesa, and Xorg (or Wayland) in your dependencies. And honestly, if you're just starting, start by using a graphical toolkit like Gtk or Qt before doing all that yourself ;) Commented Feb 20, 2020 at 16:20
