But see https://github.com/jubalh/awesome-os

There are dozens and dozens of new operating systems listed here. Most are experiments -- what you might call hobby projects -- but there are some interesting ideas implemented among them.

The title is arguably a bit baity. I have not been keeping that much up with now now. I guess all the OSes that are out there right now have been out for at least a decade now, indeed. Redox, Haiku, Serenity, the Assembly ones, Qubes (is that really an OS, though?)...

damn. you're right. even templeOs is from 13 years ago.

It's almost impossible because not a lot people code C for end-users nowadays and it's so hard to make another language works
