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

Please don't. ElementaryOS is bad for new user this days. Try Fedora Workstation edition or Plasma spin, Linux Mint.

@FarLine99 @privacy
what's the problem with elementary for new users?

Its not a privacy problem, its a software being up to date problem. Elementary is slow to be updated so you're going to spend a lot of your time debugging and troubleshooting why your wifi isn't working, what's the deal with your font rendering, why is the login screen acting like that?

It is buggy. Really old packages. Non enabled deb installation in Software Store. Non wayland support which is definetly the future.
