try aros
linux started out with one guy linus and grew to a very respectable alternitive os it isnt very useful for home use since it is unix.
there is no reason why aros cant be like or even better than linux.
aros on practically any modern hardware is very fast good looking and is becoming more functional all the time
os4 is stagnant wainting for hardware that likely will never materialize at any reasonable power/price point if at all
try aros, it is a free download, the iso will burn easily ask for help if you need it, and try it. it will probably work on you pc
