Whonix

operating system focused on #anonymity, #privacy and #security.
based on the Tor anonymity network, Debian GNU/Linux and #security-by-isolation.
Whonix consists of two parts: One solely runs Tor and acts as a gateway, which is called Whonix-Gateway. The other, which is called Whonix-Workstation, is on a completely isolated network.
...
DNS leaks are impossible, and even malware with root privileges cannot find out the user's real IP.

(More explained on the Technical Introduction)

Is Whonix safer than VPNs?

SolydXK

SolydX and SolydK are Debian-based distributions with the Xfce and KDE desktops respectively.
...
started as an unofficial variant of Linux Mint's "Debian" edition with KDE as the default desktop, but it was later given its own identity as SolydK. SolydX was added after Linux Mint dropped its Debian-based flavour that used the Xfce desktop.

All versions downloads

Comes with PlayOnLinux preinstalled.

Note: I had the Xfce version installed on an old machine perhaps 3 or 4 years ago. I can confirm it's solid. :)

Salix

a GNU/Linux distribution based on Slackware that is simple, fast and easy to use, with stability being a primary goal. Salix is also fully backwards compatible with Slackware...
Like a bonsai...

DistroWatch.com: Salix

Optimised for #desktop use, ... #custom package #repositories, advanced package management with dependency support, localised system administration tools and innovative artwork.

"#Linux for the lazy Slacker", they say...

FreedomBox

FreedomBox is a #private-server for #non-experts: it lets you install and configure server applications with only a few clicks. It runs on cheap hardware of your choice, uses your internet connection and power, and is under your control.

Plain and clear.
You may use it to install your own instance of mastodon*, for example.

Try this at home. :) ;)
Also Diasp, I suppose. The gurus here confirm this?

Dragora

independent GNU/Linux distribution project which was created from scratch with the intention of providing a reliable operating system with maximum respect for the user by including entirely free software

Why should I use Dragora?

It has a very simple packaging system that allows installing, removing, upgrading and creating packages. Dragora can be an ideal distribution for those who wish to learn how a distribution works on the inside. DistroWatch.com: Dragora GNU/Linux-Libre

Crunchbangplusplus

#!++ with debian 12
The classic minimal crunchbang feel, now with #debian 12 bookworm.
...
9.8/10 average rating on distrowatch.

Not the best distro for newbies, definitely one of the best for #Linux-addicts.
They came a long way since the original Crunchbang.
