I use Raspberry Pi's for many things around my home network. I haven't seen
or tried HelenOS; but it seems like theres many new, niche OSes popping up
for RPi's that... IMO aren't very worthy; however I don't know HelenOS.
Raspian is always the best for building something specific you need; whether
you use the GUI or lite version.
If you're into retro gaming, or are coming from x86 systems and aren't
wanting to embrace the ARM side, I would REALLY suggest TwisterOS. It is an
OS built with the end goal of making box86 (x86 emulator for ARM systems)
better on the Raspberry Pi...
So, sorry to hijack the thread BUT for RPi's I really would suggest:
Raspian/Raspberry Pi OS - If you're trying to embrace/learn/build on the ARM
platform..
TwisterOS - If you're into retro gaming, or less interested in ARM stuff...
it has x86 support right on your RPi.

I haven't played with DietPi... which might be nice for specific Pi Zero
builds... does anyone suggest it to built things from the ground up with only
the stuff you need?
