There's also the FL/OSS BSD's, although I don't know how viable they are for desktops outside of ThinkPad's.

They suffer from the same problem of requiring third party maintainers to keep software working.

I guess I've just given up on having a sole first party maintaining a sane system. It makes more sense to me to have something like Linux/BSD vs a first party system that falls apart worse while still being closed, despite being a consistent maintainer.

Which I guess brings me back around to where you started.
