  same as writing any other OS. Step one is to boot the CPU, get it into 64-bit mode and read information about devices on the system. This means knowing how EFI and probably ACPI work.

  What are all the steps for writing an operating system from scratch in Nim language?

  Sorry, but you can't really expect us to write a complete tutorial on how to achieve this :)

  Best resource is the OS dev wiki and nimkernel (linked above).
