From the [website]:
Heads is an open source custom firmware and OS configuration for laptops and servers that aims to provide slightly better physical security and protection for data on the system. Unlike Tails, which aims to be a stateless OS that leaves no trace on the computer of its presence, Heads is intended for the case where you need to store data and state on the computer.
It appears to be a custom coreboot and Linux distro, except for the latter part. It's more like a custom coreboot and the option of whatever linux you want to tie to it. The default might be Qubes.
