What's /g/'s opinion on CopperheadOS?
https://copperhead.co/android/
It's a hardened custom ROM that's directly based on AOSP and is aimed to be stable, bugfree and more secure than Stock. It's only available for a handful of Nexus devices (Nexus 5, Nexus 9, Nexus 5X and Nexus 6P) but Copperhead provides support for them as long as Google does, so major version updates for at least two years after launch & security updates for three years after launch along with 1.5 years after the last device is sold. The sources for Copperhead are also available on GitHub.
Although the ROM itself is available as a free download for all devices, donations are welcome and devices with CopperheadOS preinstalled can be bought from their website (for non technical users or just to support them). Directly bought devices also include web-based support.
Here is a list of their changes/additions to AOSP, in case you're interested in the technical details:
