I attended some classes for computer science, but due to some difficulties i left after the first semester. During that time we learned a little bit about operating systems and the basics of programming. Is learning operating systems C and Assembly, for a specific architecture, (e.g. x86) a good start? What should my steps be after that? Thank you in advance.

Read the documentation :
https://docs.kernel.org/process/development-process.html
Read this by Valdis again and again... ( and again! )
https://lists.kernelnewbies.org/pipermail/kernelnewbies/2017-April/017765.html
After reading the above by Valdis go ahead and give it a go, this is how I started.
When I said read the documentation...
If you think about it there is no better documentation than the actual source code. Reading the source
is one thing... understanding/comprehending it is totally another :-)
Hope this helps!
