That alone isn't going to help his situation unless he knows which distros are the least pozzed and spends enough time learning to secure whatever he settles for. Not a quick road if you're leaving Windows.

it's basically impossible to do this because microshit likes to embed telemetry in a lot of actually useful software, it's like malware. if you care that much and need windows for work, just dual boot or even better get a second computer and put linux on it

>"Ubuntu uses the information about searches to show the user ads to buy various things from Amazon. Amazon commits many wrongs; by promoting Amazon, Canonical contributes to them. However, the ads are not the core of the problem. The main issue is the spying. Canonical says it does not tell Amazon who searched for what. However, it is just as bad for Canonical to collect your personal information as it would have been for Amazon to collect it. Ubuntu surveillance is not anonymous."
