NOOBS is not an O/S, but a package of other O/S like Raspbian Arch etc. If you have a big SD card up to 32 GB, NOOBS allows 2-3 choices at boot time of say OpenELEC and Rasbian for example...

There have been more OS.
- Linux branch, Debian, CentOS, FreeBSD, Ubuntu,

- Kind of RTOS, zyphre, rt-thread
- Windows IoT
- Android Things
Since it is based on ARM-Ax, nearly everything can be ported. And more can be added to this list.

I didn't check the date! Not sure why, but this old poll popped up as recent and I answered it.

Seriously though - it will depend on what you're doing with the Pi.
