From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Linux is a family of open source Unix-like
operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first
released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in
a Linux distribution (or distro for short). Distributions include the Linux
kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided
by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name,
but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the
importance of GNU software, causing some controversy. ### Rules * Posts must be

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.
RHEL is not Fedora. It’s still lead by a community council, even if you don’t agree with some of their decisions.
In case of your first link it wasn’t even about making a decision. The project has always had the clear stance to not include patented works, so there were no two ways about it.

You can web search yourself, there are many controversies around it since it’s very integrated with Red Hats decisions.
But it has nothing to do with privacy
