There are good and trustworthy projects out there IMO. I use GuixSD and OpenBSD for all my computing needs and have 0 reason not to trust them. Curious to hear any arguments against either.
To paraphrase the venerable Mutt email client: All operating systems suck. These ones just sucks less...
If I could use them for anything besides bespoke server projects and really awful desktop environments I might be more interested. As it stands, they're of no use professionally, I've had poor luck on the kinds of hardware I am interest in using as a hobby, and they make Linux seem thoughtful and snappy when it comes to desktop environments.

I'm trying not to be too Negative Online, so don't get me started on that. :D
But I don't trust any given computer os very much. They're all projects run by folks that have given me 0 reason to trust them.
One of the most insufferable parts of your post is the assumption I don't use Linux as a primary OS. I do. I hate it slightly less than OSX. But they're all awful in equal but unique measures.
