Since it is open source, major distros are constantly being audited by members of the community. Linux does not give users admin rights by default- this makes is much less likley that your system could become infected with malware. And of course, there is no proprietary Microsoft or Apple software constantly monitoring everything you do. -Some good distros to consider would be: **[Fedora](https://getfedora.org/)**, **[Debian](https://www.debian.org/)**, or **[Arch](https://www.archlinux.org/)**- all of which have a large community behind them. **[Manjaro](https://manjaro.org/)** (based of Arch) is a good option, with a simple install process, used by new comers, and expers alike. **[POP_OS](https://pop.system76.com/)** and **[PureOS](https://www.pureos.net/)** are reasonably new general purpose Linux, with a strong focus on privacy, but also very user-firendly with an intuitive interfac and install process.
