Hello everyone, is there any area in programming that develops the OS? For example, I learned about embedded development that it is 70% electronics (or even more), and system programming is solid system calls and the like. I'm interested in OS development. What would you advise in this situation?

Is there a field in programming that develops the OS?

No. Nobody writes their OS for a long time. Everything on Linux.

ebmedded development means the development of something for various electronic devices. Usually associated with development in conditions of limited resources, or with non-standard devices.
System programming - development of OS, system programs and drivers.
OS is a big conglomerate of programs. You can develop powershell, you can develop a kernel, you can use a BSOD debugger, or you can use Explorer, calc.exe, or Minesweeper. All this is included in the OS.

Yes - I myself work in the field of OS development, or rather hard real-time RTOS, but the market is not as large as, for example, for the Web - if there are vacancies, then most often these are research institutes, design bureaus, NGOs, etc. And OS development is just the tip of the system programming iceberg: this includes the development of compilers, and programming languages, and debuggers, and network programming, and distributed systems, and the most complex software systems.
