GUI for software, not games, but lighter than Qt ?
LVGL. It is designed for embedded system, but can be used on virtually every platforms.
-
Lvgl/lvgl: Powerful and easy-to-use embedded GUI library
seems like LVGL has direct support for the frame buffer: https://github.com/lvgl/lv_drivers/blob/master/display/fbdev...
other devices are supported too

Looking for projects to contribute to
Tangentially, I just listened to an old cppcast about https://www.copperspice.com/, a QT fork with ambitions of being more c++-ey.

Worries about QT
There was already a fork of Qt 4. It is tootling along fine: https://www.copperspice.com/

Missing features in modern C++
BTW, CopperSpice sounds pretty close to what you're mentioning: https://www.copperspice.com
-
Using sigslot as replacement of Qt signals/slots
If you already have a lot of use of Qt your might find CopperSpice to be a reasonable compromisehttps://www.copperspice.com/

15 year .NET vet moving to Linux and C++ and Qt

New 3.1.6 release of wxWidgets, free and open source library for creating portable native GUI applications, adding transparent support for high DPI artwork and much more, is now available.
CopperSpice might be worth looking at too. Coming from Qt you're probably going to like it better than wxWidgets.

Qt Creator 6 released
So I strongly dislike Qt. It's got a predatory vision for open source enforcement where they mislead their customers with spoopy language and make it harder and harder to download. In addition, they continue to insist on an architecture that's not even actually C++ (it's got a different grammar) despite it being completely possible to architect a better version of their designs in standard C++.
