Researching GNU/Linux Honest OS
What am I looking for here?
That's unlikely.
Nothing. Mind being more specific?
Debian is the base for high-security and pen-testing distros like Tails and Kali. If it's secure enough for Tails, which Snowden used, it's secure enough for me.
Aparthed GNU/Linux Exists
They say variety is the spice of Linux, but in practice, the main distros are your only lasting options. The dream of the derivative distro is to become a main distro in and of itself (ie. Debian -> Ubuntu, Softlanding -> Slackware...), but these are far and few in between. In reality, they just don't have the support as the distros they're based on, and are often outdated and fade into obscurity sooner or later. If you look at current FSF endorsements, they're nearly all slow-developed derivatives with the occasional fledging indie niche hobbyist distro that just isn't practical for everyday use. The FSF is good as a guideline, but it's okay to use your brain and bend the rules. I've narrowed my preferences down to three distros; they're not FSF-compliant out of the box, but you can build them to be free/libre and that flexibility is indeed a freedom:
Slackware. Pros: pretty much the most steady source-based distro, basically all one person so outside influence is nill. Cons: slow development, basically all one person so its future is uncertain. Verdict: simple and elegant, adheres closest to Linux principles, but perhaps a bit antiquated. Try it, and see why the oldest living distro endured.
Debian. Pros: pretty much the most solid binary-based distro, gold-standard support, good for beginning and expert users alike, kernel is deblobbed by default as of 6.0, -was- unofficially endorsed by FSF before Linux-libre was a thing, official OS of NASA. Cons: systemd is a controversial default as of 8.0 (some argue it's for structure, others say it's compromised and unnecessary), evidence of SJW-ism infesting and impeding development. Verdict: the undisputed king for a long time, but that crown has been in certain dispute during the last major version. Try it, or wait for 9.0 to drop and see if it's improved.
Gentoo. Pros: Gives you the most control over your setup. Cons: Gives you the most control over your setup. Verdict: rewarding, but you'd better be prepared for some growing pains. Try it, although many users switched over to Arch Linux (which is more or less "Gentoo Lite").
I consider these "ultimate" for different reasons. There's no "one size fits all" Linux distro.

Arch is the only choice
Not an argument

I'm so sorry that your preferred distro is Diet Lite, faggot.
