I have a 1TB harddrive on my desktop computer that isn’t doing much of anything, so I’d like to dual-boot something “interesting”. Suggestions are greatly appreciated, so let me know what y’all find intriguing/interesting/frustrating/innovative.

The logo is just for attention, but EFF is a great cause that we should all support.

It’s really hard to go wrong with Debian.

That’s my safe answer.

If you share more about your interests, hobbies, I might have other ideas.

I suppose, when in doubt, there’s always Linux From Scratch. It’s a very interesting experience.

Except Debian is neither interesting nor innovative.

It’s very premise is the polar opposite of interesting or innovative. It’s pretty much the white bread of Linux: incredibly bland, but will fit into everything that requires bread.

I have another drive with Mint installed that I used as my daily do-things OS. For this, I’d like to devote a separate 1TB drive to something weird or interesting.
