No operating system is trustable unless you coded it entirely yourself on an air gapped machine with your own hand crafted compiler, and even then you are still exposed to hardware backdoors
You're confusing "trust" with "can guarantee to beyond a shred of a doubt that the system is not compromised in any way".
