Best Linux Distro Privacy/Usability for a mid level user
What do you think is the best linux distro for a user who wants to migrate from windows in terms of privacy, usability and respect for the FOSS spirit?
I’m thinking to give a chance to #ElementaryOS https://elementary.io
@carloshr @Openhuman @privacy @linux I think Zorin OS is good for this.

For privacy and “FOSS ideals” stay away from Ubuntu and RedHat.
For “easy for a Windows user”, I tried switching to Linux 6-7 times over 15 years, different distro every time.
The one that finally “stuck” for me was #Mint.
Although honestly, nowadays, most of the top distros are very good. I’m also a fan of #Pop_OS

I would recommend what looks most promising/fun to you.
personally I am staying with the “big ones”. on my gaming pc I have installed fedora with kde. on my notebook(with touchscreen) I am trying Debian with gnome and eventually arch when I am clear on how I want my system to be exactly
for work and network stuff I use debian with kde.
If you are unsure I’d recommend either debian or fedora with kde. Ubuntu isn’t really something for me because snap is really annoying (apt installs sometimes default to snap but don’t tell you outright)
