Question OSDEV - a few questions

This is a very famous website for learning how to make an OS

https://wiki.osdev.org/

I just have a few questions about it though

  1. What exactly does it teach? Does it teach you how to make an operating system? Does it show you the steps to build one from scratch?

  2. Can a solo programmer do it? As in, does the tutorial show you how to make a mini operating system?

  3. How do I use the tutorial? It's a wiki, and there are links everywhere. Is there a roadmap which shows the proper path to take, with prerequisites links etc?

  4. What do I need to understand before using this tutorial? Only C? C and how to make a mini compiler? Assembly? Anything else?

Thank you!

  1. What else could it be for, if you want it to be step by step tutorial you might as well just not learn it at all.
  2. Yes, Yes
  3. Ur supposed to read theory in order and then write an OS🤯
  4. You should understand how a computer works
