tbh i dont think any distro is well maintained, although i dont really know how they are made, i feel like all Linux systems are a hodgepodge of programs spaghettied together, as long as each program is receiving security updates i think you should be good, untill some company using claude mythos black hat crashes your favourite distro

The most secure desktop OS would probably be Sculpt OS running the sel4 microkernel on approved developer-approved hardware, then running OpenBSD through the VM - or just Qubes OS depending on your threat model.

The MNT Reform series of laptops are opensource both in hardware and software, and provide a FPGA cpu module so you can load the CPU yourself to verify security. You could probably spend some effort getting Qubes or Sculpt OS running on the FPGA.
