I always find good tutorials on the subject, but it almost always is C++. Is it hard or just doesn't make sense to make GUI applications with C?
A good book, guide or a tutorial is fine.

A C compiler itself won't provide you with GUI functionality, but there are plenty of libraries for that sort of thing. The most popular is probably GTK+, but it may be a little too complicated if you are just starting out and want to quickly get a GUI up and running.
Use GTK+. It's written in C and exposes a well-designed C API. Their tutorial is quite excellent. GTK+ is the toolkit for GNOME, so your applications will fit right in with many Linux desktops.
To develop C++ GUI or C++ graphical user interface application, you need an IDE that supports the C++ GUI application. To create the GUI app, you must use Visual Studio 2019 because it is better suited for the C++ GUI application.

If you are programming in C on Windows - Petzold's programming windows used to be the bible for C based ui work.
EDIT: Since I answered my question the post has been updated to be on Linux. I will leave the post here for anybody looking, but it really does not apply to Linux.
