I feel like you must have (accidentally?) withheld context. Since everything is open, you can presumably produce drivers for QNX, FreeBSD, or another OS of your choice. I'm sure you can also boot bare-metal into embedded firmware of your own design.
Linux can not be completely understood by one man or even a team of them, and by the time you do figure out what you need to edit, the whole thing will have churned.
Linux is a complex operating system, and it takes a genius to understand the complexity.

Yeah, sorry, crappy writing skills. I tried to elaborate in a sibling comment: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7518682.
I'm gradually growing aware that just having the sources be open is not enough to be hackable.
