The Wikipedia page is your best friend here. In short was an operating system written from the ground up by a brilliant, bipolar and occasionally psychotic man who was named named Terry Davis. It is important to mention when talking about Terry Davis to note he stalked several women and he probably took his own life.
It was Terry's belief that a way to speak to God was through computers. So he built an operating system from the ground up to act as God's temple. It's actually a pretty nifty achievement truth be told and an interesting view into the mind of someone suffering from psychosis. It is not suitable for every day use, but people have taken the foundations of his OS and ran with it making equally interesting operating systems.
Do you have some examples? I'm curious
First off, a word of warning. TempleOS and any fork I've seen does not do hardware monitoring. Meaning the OS has no clue what the CPU temp is or any other temp or power usage. Modern hardware should be able to protect itself from this, but it's a fuck around and find out kinda deal. These operating systems can fry your hardware, it's very unlikely but not impossible.
That said, the best one is TinkerOS. It's more or less the same as TempleOS but for newer hardware. Most other forks we're more or less hobby projects by various people and I don't think there's much documentation on those if at all. I'd never use any of them as a daily driver though, as neat as they were.
