I want to make an operating system. I'd be fine with just a text-based one, but I would like to make one. I have been googling it and I haven't been able to find much. I would like to know what programming language(s) I would need to know to do this.

Making an OS is not an easy task, you need shitloads of knowledge to make it, Bootloader etc etc. But here's a C# Made OS http://cosmos.codeplex.com/ Not really an OS but you can experiment since it's text based

Thank you for your help, but I am not able to buy VMware. Where can I learn C# and what other languages can I use to program an OS.

You'll probably want to know C (Not C#), Assembly, and a good understanding of binary and how the computer architecture actually works at a very low level, eg how the CPU handles instructions, memory management, etc. not to mention bootstrapping, device drivers and so on. Its not a simple task you can learn in a couple months afaik. even if its just a basic DOS like OS.

At least I can start learning them. I get a lot of free time on my hands. I am not exactly sure what bootstrapping is? Could you please explain.

If I am correct. Bootstrapping is the process where you can proceed to something without an external input

that sounds very dictionary-esque

i dont have any particular interest of going into detail... this looks like a good intro based on the first 90 seconds: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nslY1s0U9_c
