Write my own OS or stick to Linux?

[Henry T]

I'm planning on having a computer that will have a barebones operating system that will access a web os. Would it be better to write my own operating system or have a stripped down version of linux to focus on creating the web os?

Unless you know how to write your own kernel, I would stick to using a Linux kernel and running a light system on top of it to access the web OS.
