Yeah, tails. But, what if someone wants to keeps their settings, files, programs, etc...without doing basically a factory reset every time they reboot their computer?

Use FreeBSD.
Extremely documented, kernel supports both BSD kernel and Linux kernel (so practically no difference at all in usability), plus the kernel was built around security. It's 100% open source, no systemd, etc. You compile each package you want, or use the pre-made package manager (pkg)
You can do absolutely anything in FreeBSD / OpenBSD / etcBSD
Read about it here: https://www.freebsd.org/
FreeBSD FAQ: https://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/faq/
Very detailed FreeBSD handbook: https://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/
I started FreeBSD with absolutely no experience, and I got along just fine. It's great. I can choose from an assortment of shells for each user I add on my system but I normally just go sh/bash

Just a follow up of this, everyone else is complete bullshit.
Gentoo != FreeBSD in terms of security and privacy
Tails OS != FreeBSD in terms of security and privacy (for many reasons) Namely, because it's based off of Debian, which they both use systemd. Systemd is funded by government agencies (source: https://www.redhat.com/en/technologies/industries/government/federal), systemd has never been audited, systemd's code grows so fast that it cannot be audited correctly, systemd suffers from a severe case of scope creep (source: http://without-systemd.org/wiki/index.php/Main_Page / also read: http://without-systemd.org/wiki/index.php/Arguments_against_systemd ) that's enough about Tails, moving to Qubes.
Qubes is a fucking failure. It runs on next-to-no hardware, and has had major exploits in its code. Those exploits, lead to literally breaking Qubes' entire purpose: isolation. And that's all Qubes is, an OS that isolates things. That's it. It's nothing more than a hyped up isolation tool. Anyone who dickrides it is uninformed and useless.

Trips incoming?
Anyways, another tip before I quit.
Use the mainstream version of firefox, and harden it using this: https://github.com/pyllyukko/user.js/ ) which allows you to stay safe from deanonymization through firefox + many exploits.

OpenBSD > FreeBSD. Their no-bullshit approach (contributions are judged on technical merit alone, while the FreeBSD community collectively drank the SJW Kool-Aid) translates into a better product overall in the long term.

Yeah, but does BSD have Audacious, FLAC support, OGG/Opus support, Firefox Nightly and Chromium? Also, does it have Xfce 4.12 and X? Does it have Libreoffice, GIMP 2.10 or Audacity? LMMS? No.

I hope you know why you're wrong already, but I'll tell you. I get somewhat tired of people falsely shilling OpenBSD. OpenBSD is more secure, yes, but has low functionality rates per hardware (means its somewhat hard to find hardware it works on) plus it doesn't have nearly as many ports as FreeBSD. _Plus_, major places like Bank Of America and Juniper Networks run FreeBSD, so if they use it I'm quite sure it's secure.

You use the term "BSD" wrongly, you're naming only the kernel and not a specific OS like FreeBSD or OpenBSD.
Plus, as of experience I can say FreeBSD supports xfce4, I know because I use it daily.
I did a whereis lookup on libreoffice and found it in the /usr/ports of FreeBSD. I'm thinking you didn't do any research lol

Note: The FreeBSD code of conduct only has effect on the company, and is only there so they can keep making money and lay under the cover of 'progressive'. This just keeps their stance tall, and I don't see how it has _any_ effect on the code they write.

Depends on what you want to use it for. You could use Debian with kFreeBSD kernel and SysV (no systemd)?
https://antixlinux.com/
Alpine Linux is good: https://antixlinux.com/
Puppy linux or slackware are pretty good.
If trying to make a server for web or hosting code repos or even VM hypervisor then CentOS is good.
