Hello. I would like to know if there is such an area in programming that deals specifically with the development of OS, Drivers, etc., or is this area only part of computer science, or system programming? Thanks for the answer!

There is. This is system programming, which has nothing to do with the "data-science" buzzword.

OK, what OS would you advise to practice, learn - for a beginner, windows, linux, or maybe a special minix?

Windows is proprietary. It is not easy to develop an OS there, but system utilities or drivers are possible.
Linux - you can pick any parts.
Again, system programming is not only about the OS, but also a bunch of system utilities.
