No operating system is going to be build from the ground up today. Every new OS will be just be a newer branch of the OS than the previous version. For Windows, Mac OS, Linux
It's actually surprisingly possible, look at Serenity OS.
I suspect the evolution of operating systems though will be more a case of modules being replaced like parts of ship of Theseus though, we will eventually have a linux with none of the current code base and you will not be able to point to when it happened.

I'll check out that OS. I'm sure it's possible I just meant I doubt many would pursue the brand new path.
I think Ship of Theseus is the best example.
