Parabola and gNewSense are also listed on Prism break website but they aren't recommended to new GNU/Linux users in my opinion.

gNewSense is outdated. I tested the live CD and wireless did not work on my netbook despite being supported since Trisquel 4.1. Also Debian backports repository isn't part of the latest release and thus many packages are very old, for instance the version of MPlayer provided does not support VP8.

Parabola on the other hand is a rolling release and thus requires maintenance (for instance when Arch moved to systemd). Also, packages need to be updated regularly (updating an Arch based system once every 6 months is difficult) which might not suit a work environment for instance which would prefer stability to new features.
