Recommended distros for privacy? - Linux - kbin.social

Hey folks,...

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.

Nice to hear, that privacy is less of a problem with linux!

  • I'm using a "middle-class gaming tower" I think. (NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 6GB VRAM, 16 GB RAM, AMD Ryzen 5 2400G).
  • Isn't fresher always better?
  • I already found out, that it's possible to change the desktop environment, which is great I guess. So I think at first, I'd like to maybe stick to the "windows-style".
  • Not the guy you were talking to before, but it sounds like Linux Mint (Cinnamon Edition) would be a pretty good place to start.
