Ameliorated Windows 10 is one "distro" I use and (blindly) trust. It lacks store app support (not a problem), .appx package support (annoying when you want Windows Terminal), creating new user accounts (unacceptable on any machine used by multiple people), and has questionable "security" decisions by default like requiring a separate admin password for elevation, disabling VBS scripts, and an ugly logon screen wallpaper that requires downloading and blindly trusting a PowerShell script from the Internet to change (https://git.ameliorated.info/Joe/amecs). Frankly... if you're using it for situations that need security, you're better off running the (documented) amelioration steps yourself than downloading shady ISOs and wallpaper changers from online.
(If you go this route, you've got to be careful what's been trimmeed, mind, if you want to use it for general purposes - mine doesn't have WSL and seems to have damaged printing support, which is obviously suboptimal depending on your needs.)
