Youd already be using Linux Mint or Ubuntu if you cared about not being data mined.

I've been Linux only since 2016, after a decade of "trying " to move over. I do still have a partition for the increasingly rare event that I need something MS, which so far has been one class in my University that required a lockdown browser for a test.

Mint is easy to use too if you don't want to fiddle around with various packages.
