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
