I have to disagree, Windows is never free, they sell all your data even when you buy it. Use Linux.
Linux has been having issues for a few years now. They’ve been going an obfuscation route with GNOME3 and systemd. Red hat basically decided to contractually kick people out for doing the traditional CentOS thing ever since they decided to change what the official CentOS does.
The worst thing is, Debian also started using systemd.
There are plenty of distributions without systemd

Yes, I am aware. But none of these distros are distros I would introduce to someone new to Linux.
If any of the people you introduce to linux would care about systemd
Or have any clue what systemd does out of the gate, especially on a more user-friendly distro having never used linux
That's a bad point. What that logic introducing someone to windows is not bad because they don't know about it's data mining components anyway.
I'm not saying systemd does that. I'm saying that you basically said: "they wouldn't know even if that was true, so it's fine!"
Huh? All I was saying was that someone who's brand new to Linux is going to be up to their eyeballs in their new system to barely comprehend the very concept of an init system, especially on the more polished, user friendly distro that do a good job of keeping those mechanisms under the hood.
The way I understood was that it's not a problem if the system does something bad because the newcomer I directed there won't know anyway.
Sorry if that is not what you meant, but the comment has read like that.
Ok, fine. You got me there
