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.
There’s a saying that you can run BSD on a some chewed gum and tinfoil hahaha of course, it’s not true, but it hammers home the idea that these systems can run on bare minimums. I generally use Cinnamon, but its more resource-intensive.
