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.

What is AROS?

The AROS Research Operating System is a lightweight, efficient, and flexible desktop operating system, designed to help you make the most of your computer. It's an independent, portable and free project, aiming at being compatible with AmigaOS at the API level (like Wine, unlike UAE), while improving on it in many areas. The source code is available under an open source license, which allows anyone to freely improve upon it.
