Or just make a fully posix OS written as simply as possible with security in mind.
Everything being so simple that it is obviously correct, and damn the performance issues.
Some things that bother me about current OSs.
Data doesn't have types.
Would be nice if you could open a file handle of sequential "struct Foo;"
or a socket of typed packets.
There isn't much global organization.
Configuration, files, data, are all stored kinda wherever people want.
Everything should have a simple GUI method of access, then a feature complete file method for the complicated stuff.
More stuff should have GUIs with graphs and diagrams.
Reading iptables output is complete, but you can get much more information communicated more quickly with a simple diagram.
Computers are often used together, but getting computers to talk to each other is getting harder and harder. Setting up a network of computers with shared resources, ACLs, user accounts, etc should be easy.
I think I'd start with something like
https://mentos-team.github.io/MentOS/
target it to the default defices available in virtualbox.
Port it to C++ (without RTII and Exception).
Then implement everything as simply as possible and keep code size small.
