people always say that C++ is not a good fit for kernels, but so far this is the only language I know where small teams or individuals are regularly able to create non-trivial hobby OSes from scratch that go from zero to GUI: - Serenity (https://github.com/SerenityOS/serenity) - not really a small team, but it managed to get to GUI as pretty much a one-man-show - Skift (https://github.com/skift-org/skift) - hhu: https://github.com/hhuOS/hhuOS - MaxOS: https://github.com/maxtyson123/MaxOS - MorphiOS: https://github.com/syedtaqi95/morphiOS - Macaron: https://github.com/MacaronOS/Macaron - Ghost: https://github.com/maxdev1/ghost most big ones in C don't manage to get to the GUI level, except toaruos: https://github.com/klange/toaruos
