Hey folks,
I hope this question fits here well.
Since I've started to care more about my digital fingerprint, I came to the conclusion, that I need to change my OS.
All my life I've been using Windows operating systems, but at this point I'm kind of fed up about the big amount of telemetry data which is being sent out by default. So maybe Linux is the solution?
I'm looking for a beginner friendly Linux-Distro, which respects my privacy. It should also be possible to play some games on it without too much effort.
What can you recommend?
Thank you so much!
Edit:
System specs: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 6GB VRAM, 16 GB RAM, AMD Ryzen 5 2400G (tower pc)
Distros that don't respect your privacy are hard to find, so privacy isn't really a factor here. You're just going to get everyone's favourite distro here, regardless of whether it fits your other requirements.
What kind of hardware do you use?
How stable or fresh would you like your distro to be?
What wind of desktop experience do you prefer?
Also note that the apps you use (on your PC or in the browser) usually far outshadow the OS w.r.t. privacy intrusion.
