Is it reasonable to try and modify the Linux kernel?

Question

So i want to try a new concept that involves deep modifications of the Linux kernel, and i wanted to know if is it worth to try or if it is too complicated ?

Answer 1

In the absence of further information, it sounds like what you are suggesting is better described as modifying the kernel, not forking.

What aspect of your ambition calls for forking? Forking is a thing whose essence is mostly defined in political terms - i.e. renaming the project, setting a different strategic direction, and so on.
