I've been using CalyxOS for a year now and I like it so much. I also tried GrapheneOS but I consider that sandboxed apps are harder to manage than microG in Calyx. I chose simplicity.

@AdrianTheFrog @privacy @AceFuzzLord actually, it depends on the code. If it's no open source you can't really know what it is doing with your data. Therefore not all things you install in you local computer are equally insecure (or secure)

@Charger8232 @g0nz4 I guess in that case "proprietary" refers to the owners of the platform itself but not to the code of software. But then, they should make the distinction between proprietary/communitary and open source/proprietary code. Even between free/paid services. So, IMO that list from alternativeto is confusing.

According to most of the responses so far, Eeementary is not the best choice. So I think I will try #LinuxMint as the first option.

what's the problem with elementary for new users?

 

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
