For my phone, I use Graphene OS. What would be the best desktop Linux option to match the level of security and privacy that GOS provides?

    Ubuntu is bad privacy-wise because it has opt-out telemetry. The telemetry is not very invasive though and I wouldn’t really call it a privacy risk. There are other reasons to prefer other distros over Ubuntu though

        You’re right. This only counts users though whereas Ubuntu collects information about your system

        Counting users based on their ip VS selling user search queries to amazon (i know it got changed to opt-in, but that’s a massive stain on their reputation as far as I’m concerned)
