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)

    Pretty much all of them, as they’re almost all open source and use similar components (drivers, kernel, userspace). I’d recommend Fedora or Debian just because they are relatively easy to set up, but check out other options on https://distrowatch.com/
