Certainly the Blacklight test show that Microsoft EU respect way more the privacy (forced by law) than Microsoft US.

      Yes, but currently Linux isn’t a valid option for a lot of users, because a lot of professional and corporation apps, apart of most games are Windows only. To rise Linux is needed to change this first. The only alternative for this issue is maybe using instead eg. WindowsX, something like an “de-microsofted” Windows. Linux is certainly the best alternative, but also has some drawbacks, like too much different distros not always compatible one with another, depending on the distro also often an deficient support and maintance, certain driver problems, among others. Not good if an still minority OS is above to diversified, which cause a lot of problems for the devs of software. To dethrone Windows as leader of the market does it still need a lot of work in many environments.

        For business usage, it’s really just Debian and Red Hat as options, along with their derivatives. For personal use, add Arch to the list.

        Other distros exist but people don’t generally need to worry about them, their stability or compatibility, etc. This includes developers as well as users.
