When looking for an operating system I mainly think about these three things. I have made this list for anyone the same.
What is Subgraph OS?
Subgraph believes that the best way to empower people to communicate and live freely is to develop technology that is secure, free, open-source, and verifiably trustworthy.
Subgraph OS is an important part of that vision.
The Internet is a hostile environment, and recent revelations have made it more apparent than ever before that risk to every day users extends beyond the need to secure the network transport - the endpoint is also at risk.
Subgraph OS was designed from the ground-up to reduce the risks in endpoint systems so that individuals and organizations around the world can communicate, share, and collaborate without fear of surveillance or interference by sophisticated adversaries through network borne attacks.
Subgraph OS is designed to be difficult to attack. This is accomplished through system hardening and a proactive, ongoing focus on security and attack resistance. Subgraph OS also places emphasis on the integrity of installable software packages.
Designed for Usability Subgraph believes that security and usability are not necessarily mutually exclusive. One of our objectives is ease of use, particularly for privacy tools, without compromising effectiveness.
Hardened Subgraph OS is based on a foundation designed to be resistant to attacks against operating systems and the applications they run.
Anonymized
Subgraph OS includes built-in 
Tor integration, and a default policy that sensitive applications only communicate over the Tor network.
Secure Communication
Subgraph OS ships with a new, more secure IM client, and an e-mail client configured by default for 
OpenPGP and Tor support.
Comments and Reviews
Seems to have been discontinued. No updates for 1,5 years. Twitter account is quiet for a year too.
Tried installing it on my laptop and more or less nothing worked, so yeah.

Since Subgraph OS is in alpha release now it is not a practical alternative to production ready OS's. Now it is worth experimenting with it before decide if it serves your purpose. On the other hand it is meant to be secure OS so all those general purpose OS's should not be its alternatives also. As alternatives for secure OS I would list Qubes OS, Tails OS, Whonix and their likes, not Windows, Ubuntu etc.
Ah, that's a good point. Maybe we need to differentiate between the various types of OS's.
Yeah, definitely a good point and thanks for bringing it up @Praktical.
If either of you or others have a free moment, we'd love it if you'd make suggestions for OSes you think should be removed as alternatives for Subgraph OS. I've just removed Windows 7 as one alternative but am not keen on this OS so I wouldn't be as good at removing others.
