Can an operating system be built on the Unreal Engine technology?

I'm asking because I think if the operating system was built to take full advantage of the graphics processor unit, it would be a lot faster and I think the amount of things that could be done in a small space could be broader...?

    I built an operating system to do very simple things like printing a string, adding 2 integers. etc.

    it took me like 6 months to code. building an OS is not easy,

    every existing OS is based on one layer after another.

    and clearly they are not made to utilize graphic processor.
