Interesting FOSS OS that aren't Windows® or GNU/Linux
This list contains #FOSS operating systems that I find interesting. (yes, Windows® is not FOSS, everybody knows that)
"Windows®" refers to every Windows/NT #OperatingSystem owned by Microsoft, like XP and 7. React OS wants to be compatible with the Windows/NT API to a binary level but it is not a property of Microsoft.
GNU/Linux is Linux combined with software such as x11/wayland and gtk/KDE. Arch, fedora and Ubuntu are GNU/Linux but Lineage OS isn't.
