Non Spyware Versions of Linux?
Non Spyware Versions of Linux?
Choose CentOS, Debian, or Ubuntu Server for the server. The spyware is limited to the GUI. Avoid Arch; it’s not well supported for servers and less stable.
I’d rather avoid any kind of spyware completely. I don’t want anything even similar to that close to me—it’s unacceptable. My intention wasn’t to run Arch as a server OS; I was thinking about using it for a workstation OS. Would there really be any valid reasons to choose it?
Fedora is indeed a desktop operating system, and because it's newer than some others, it tends to have better support and reliability.
I only use CentOS or Debian Stable on servers or workstations. Those are the most reliable options. Arch Linux is possible, but you need a system that functions well without relying on the latest features.
