I'm thinking of playing around with a lesser-used, more obscure open source operating system in the near future to see if I can get all of my work done with it for a couple of weeks. Open to suggestions as to which one to use.
Edit: I should have made this clear. It will _not_ be a Linux distro. More obscure than a Linux distro I've reviewed before.
@devSJR I know ReactOS won't work. Tried it recently and it crashed non-stop every few minutes. And I know Void will work perfectly because I review it about once a year.
Haiku and OI are good possibilities.
Haiku hosts most of the apps which I use including (if I remember correctly) QGIS. It would be better with an automatic login system, IMHO.
Would OI install on a laptop?
