EfiSharp
An Attempt at building at least some of C# corelib for EFI applications. Inspired by https://github.com/MichalStrehovsky/zerosharp to see if this possible. (by JoshuaWierenga)
Cosmos
Cosmos is an operating system "construction kit". Build your own OS using managed languages such as C#, VB.NET, and more! (by CosmosOS)

Mark Russinovich: “Working towards enabling Windows driver development in Rust”
I didn't realise that. Then again, I only experimented with AOT executables quite briefly. Perhaps Cosmos[1] stuck in my head more than what I read about AOT dotnet applications.

Sweet C#
there are entire toolkits for that! https://github.com/cosmosos/cosmos
- Making an OS with C#?
- XenOS, an OS made in C#!

Does Microsoft ever try to written the whole windows OS codebase in entirely in C# in future?
This is about the same time that Cosmos came about - they’ve got they own ASM-like flavour of C# called X# and IL2CPU
- Slow Frame Rate under Cosmos
- Writing a kernel in C# on Linux
- Alternatives to COSMOS?

Is C# a good programming language for kernel development?
I recommend you to take a look at the Cosmos project. It's an operating system construction kit integrated to Visual Studio using it's own compiler translating IL code (C#, VB.NET, F#...) to x86 assembly.

Found this on a command-line only OS.
From these lines of code one would assume so, but apparently Cosmos seems to be quiet more serious than just a simple shell.
What are some alternatives?
When comparing EfiSharp and Cosmos you can also consider the following projects:
zerosharp - Demo of the potential of C# for systems programming with the .NET native ahead-of-time compilation technology.
Aura-Operating-System - AuraOS, the Franco-English Operating System developed in C# using Cosmos!
KernelSharp - C# Kernel Mode Driver example using NativeAOT
Singularity-OS - Microsoft Research Singularity RDK 2.0 Source
biscuit - Biscuit research OS
ZeroKernel - Bringing kernel driver to C# with NativeAOT (Surpassed by https://github.com/ZeroLP/WDK.NET)
gopher-os - A proof of concept OS kernel written in Go
MOSA-Project - Managed Operating System Alliance Project
