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

Mint helped me a lot when I switched from Windows. I found it very straightforward, as much as that’s possible with Linux

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.

Linux Mint is great for beginners and is simular to Windows.

I would recommend what looks most promising/fun to you.

personally I am staying with the “big ones”. on my gaming pc I have installed fedora with kde. on my notebook(with touchscreen) I am trying Debian with gnome and eventually arch when I am clear on how I want my system to be exactly

for work and network stuff I use debian with kde.

If you are unsure I’d recommend either debian or fedora with kde. Ubuntu isn’t really something for me because snap is really annoying (apt installs sometimes default to snap but don’t tell you outright)
