Why is C often used over C++ in osdev
Because it's traditional to use C for freestanding stuff but C++ is as capable as C to be use for freestanding code. For example here is a bootloader written in hight level C++ https://github.com/skiftOS/skift/blob/main/src/loader/loader.cpp

> I'm not sure why one would write a new OS in C++ in 2021/2022
numbers of hobby C++ OS started from scratch which went from zero to GUI in a couple years: at least 4 - SerenityOS, this, https://github.com/skiftOS/skift, https://github.com/Supercip971/WingOS

SkiftOS: Simple, handmade operating system for the x86 platform
What touches me the most is how much I like the GUI applications look like [0][1]. As a person, who use GNOME Shell DE I really miss to see the titlebars condensed with the menu just like VSCode does. It was what I liked in the very last Unity DE and I happy to see this once again. I am also amazed how simple the TextEditor is [2][3] and how handy looks your libwidget components. Congratulations!

SkiftOS: Simple, handmade operating system for the x86 platform
UEFI sort of handles this, even if the spec is absurdly huge. It contains portions referring to standardized ways of interacting with Wi-Fi cards and other devices, even if not all firmware supports it. I started an OS project[1] a while ago based on it.
