Suggest unto me a new FOSS operating system - eviltoast

I have a 1TB harddrive on my desktop computer that isn’t doing much of anything, so I’d like to dual-boot something “interesting”. Suggestions are greatly appreciated, so let me know what y’all find intriguing/interesting/frustrating/innovative.

The logo is just for attention, but EFF is a great cause that we should all support.

    Qubes - an OS that compartmentalizes system functions (including userspace) into separate VMs, with the intent of keeping them secure from each other. Kind of an internal zero-trust approach. Complicated to use.

    Alpine Linux - stripped down to create a reduced attack surface, with the intent to provide only packages which have been vetted for security. Fairly straightforward.

    Redox OS - a Unix-like OS written in Rust (not actually Linux). Limited, still kind of a prototype.

    Damn Small Linux has been revived with a new version recently, which is nice to see.

    HoloISO - a community built reimplementation of the Steam Deck OS.
