   All? What about FreeDOS? OberonOS? Kolibri? OctaOS? BareMetal?

   I wouldn't say FreeDOS is noticeably worse than other DOSes   
   (mostly written in 16-bit C). And of course it's fairly lean   
   (huge understatement), so you can heavily extend it at will,   
   if needed. But ....   
      
   The biggest hurdles are moreso drivers and (usable or popular)   
   applications. Some would even recommend hosting atop Linux   
   or under VM just to have decent hardware (graphics or network)   
   support.   
      
   It's not that you can't reinvent the wheel, but without obviously   
   popular things like a C compiler, you "probably" won't get far   
   (at least not regarding anything big like a web browser).   
      
   But you don't need to support literally everything.

   Good luck. I'm somewhat skeptical, but maybe you can do it.   
   But you don't need to write literally everything in assembly   
   just to be (time and space) efficient.   
      
   I don't directly recommend only C, but it is possible to use HLLs.
