Your options kinda drop off a cliff once you move beyond Mac, Win, and Linux. The next best option after those is maybe Haiku, it's the open source continuation of BeOS (a Windows competitor in the 90s). But personally I wouldn't recommend it as a daily driver. I'd say just go with the user friendliest version of Linux out there for the least amount of headaches (probably Mint).

I'd argue that FreeBSD is the next in line after Linux. I never used Haiku so I don't know much about it, but I assume that FreeBSD has much better hardware support due to how it's more popular than Haiku.

Agreed. That's the way to go.

Nope

Pick yourself a lesser evil between Mac and Windows then.

None that I'm aware of. If it was created, it would probably have overthrown Windows already.

What you're asking for is an operating system that can rival Windows and Mac in terms of usability but is also not developed by a big corporation. But you have to understand that the very reason why Windows and Mac are so usable, is that they're developed by a big corporation.
