Best Linux Distro Privacy/Usability for a mid level user

What do you think is the best linux distro for a user who wants to migrate from windows in terms of privacy, usability and respect for the FOSS spirit?

I'm thinking to give a chance to #ElementaryOS https://elementary.io

I would recommend what looks most promising/fun to you.

personally I am staying with the "big ones". on my gaming pc I have installed fedora with kde. on my notebook(with touchscreen) I am trying Debian with gnome and eventually arch when I am clear on how I want my system to be exactly

for work and network stuff I use debian with kde.

If you are unsure I'd recommend either debian or fedora with kde. Ubuntu isn't really something for me because snap is really annoying (apt installs sometimes default to snap but don't tell you outright)
