Such OS should be more secure than Linux, yet it should be able to run practically all Linux apps (and ideally Windows apps, too). It should be FLOSS with a good UI and a serious developer team. Such OS exists: https://qubes-os.org https://qubes-os.org. My daily driver, can't recommend it enough.
- hollerith 2y agoI like Qubes, but it is just multiple Linux installs running in VMs. Also it depends on Xen and an X server, both of which are not long for this world.

There is no OS more secure than Qubes, judging by the number and severity of Qubes security bulletins: https://www.qubes-os.org/security/qsb/ https://www.qubes-os.org/security/qsb/. You don't have to run Linux in Qubes. You can run OpenBSD [0], Windows [1] and more [2].
