I have a powerful computer with Windows 10. Pieces of shit Microsoft are ending support this year.
I want to install an inidie OS that is supported to keep using my computer.
I know there are Linux and other indie OS.
Can anybody explain what can I do?
I know there is an OS with high security for using internet, that deletes all new files after browsing, so it's 100% malware free, but don't remember the name.
Is there a Linux version with the same security for internet browsing?
Is there a Linux version that is easy to use like Windows for non technical users?
I also need to know how to inistall a second OS on my computer. And if I can install more OS than just another one.
My computer has 2 discs. C is 250 GB, D is 1TB. If this matters. Or can I install the second OS on the same disc?
Enlighten me about everything I need to know. I don't even know what else to ask.
I know Tails OS and Qubes OS are the most easy to use for non computer nerd.
Are there more easy to use anti-malware secure OS?
Linux is rather commercial these days with much of development of the various components being worked on by IBM/Redhat, Microsoft, Google, Facebook. At least the major bits like the kernel, the big desktop environments, init systems and display servers.
An example that I might be comfortable calling an indie OS is something more like Temple OS.

Tails

See also Qubes and Whonix

Others will be quick to recommend 'dual booting', dealing with multiple OS entries in the bootloader (GRUB). But I would advise against this. Just have completely separate physical drives for each OS. It will be more reliable, simpler to maintain and better partitioned (no Windows updates clobbering your GRUB partition, for example).

No, that would be Linux Mint which has a great Windows-like desktop environment (Cinnamon) for newbies fresh off the boat.

More easy: Easier to use than aforementioned? Or More variety of easy to use systems?

Explore different systems and tools on your own, and at your own pace. I can understand wanting to seek out "easy" solutions when stepping into a new environment can seem overwhelming.
The strongest solution is just building out your own knowledge and skills. Then it almost doesn't matter which spin of Linux or BSD you select.
Many of the security features that are included in the "high secrecy/high security" distributions like Tails, Whonix or Qubes are things that can readily be configured on any old boring Linux distribution. Familiarizing oneself with how to deploy these tools means that you don't need to rely on some distro maintainers to do it for you.

Windows alike, that don't need a lot of settings. Just install and run OS type for people used to WIndows.
