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.

Except Debian is neither interesting nor innovative.

Debian is the Volvo of Linux distros.

More like Unimog.

Unimogs are exciting

How dare you!? /s

Yeah. Good point.

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.
