Looking for some suggestions, preferably with existing tested compatibility with the Framework laptop hardware so I can do more well rounded research. I’m the most familiar with Ubuntu and CentOS. Picked Ubuntu initially for mid 2000s nostalgia purposes but it’s time to move on.
EDIT: As some people have pointed out, “more privacy oriented” was probably not the best phrase to use here. I am looking to move off of a Linux OS with corporate sponsorship and also looking forward to exploring Linux OSes that are privacy focused.



As an expert for horrible wording myself… ahem I just want to point out, that Mark the Canonical dude said at some point that worrying about privacy as Ubuntu user is stupid because “We have root. You trust us with your data already.”. …uhhhhhhhhhh… ok? That was really… really unluckily worded. Even for me. And trust me. I’m an expert for unlucky wording and my life could be SO different if I wasn’t an autistic dumbfuck people are scared of when I actually and genuinly like or even love them… 😭
It’s even worse. Author of every repository you add has root on your machine as well.
Ex-sister?
