nobody can help me to realize my dream. So here, I bagging you, as an
experience people in the computer world, please teach me how to start my
beautiful dream, what kind of computer langguage do I have to learn, where
can I get the software that you told me to build my own OS, where can I

A:
Ibrahim,

do not believe that this is not like other questions. What you aim is a
high goal that you most probably will not reach, but can serve as a high
goal, which boosts, motivates your learning continously.

Learn C, Linux. Install Linux and install it from source. Try to modify
the kernel and recompile. Read the book Operating Systems from Tannenbaum.

Regards,
Peter
