It’s not fine. If it was, then I wouldn’t degoogle.

I don’t get them, which is not that surprising as I live in Europe where we have at least some consumer protection (still not enough though).

Sorry, a Fedora based OS does not make sense to me.

Suse is the only choice that makes sense.

I tried Debian, Ubuntu, Manjaro and CachyOS.

I stayed with Ubuntu because it simply works out of the box. To me an OS is nothing I want to tinker with, it’s supposed to be the layer on top of the hardware for other applications I want to work with. So the less hassle, the more user friendly the better in my opinion.

There are also some political reasons why I didn’t have a look at other distros.
