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
I’d recommend against ubuntu (but not against derivatives of it) because they clearly don’t respect the FOSS spirit with their insistence on snaps.
True, but you can easily switch to Flatpaks and use them instead.
At that point, why not just run mint instead?
Mint all the way. Have had nothing but good experience with it.
So far, I understand that mint doesn’t use snapd, right?
By default Mint uses Apt.
At that point, use Mint.
