Not so much a distro as most decent distros now include SELinux (Security Enhanced Linux). Allows for the introduction of the concept of mandatory access controls and is a security module that is enabled.

Here is an NSA sponsored web page that identifies SELinux distros

https://www.nsa.gov/research/_files/selinux/papers/x/img6.shtml

I think the actual list may be larger than that assuming one does the work to implement the SELinux mods as add ins. I know Red Hat Enterprise Linux has it. Here is a URL that talks about some others:

OpenBSD is also a good alternative.

It’s not your fault.
It’s those grossly negligent bass turds in Redmond that are screwing us over.
Get off the Microsoft battered user platform.

Here’s a piece about the 12 Most common problems with Windows 10, and some fixes.

Good luck.
And FUBG (Eff you Bill Gates)

Why? The NSA has released a version of Linux that is far more secure than Windows and it is free.

I love Free Republic. The human resources here related to just about any subject is awesome.
If only we can deal with the idiot moderator who pulls computer-related threads...

I knew an answer would appear sooner or later, and is both welcome and sincerely appreciated.

The Win10 alpha released to the unsuspecting public should be considered criminal.
