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

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
