Not to be one of those people, but I use Arch (btw) as a daily driver and I really like it, but also I'm a tinkerer. But TBH even just something Debian with a decent VPN would probably be a lot more private than just regular Windows 11 or whatever IMO.
I'm a tinkerer as well, but I'm at a point in my life where I need to prioritize my tinkering haha. Like buying stir-fry takeout (Windows/MacOS), cooking it by buying a pre-packaged bag (packaged mainstream Linux distro), or starting from scratch, experimenting with literally everything from chopping technique to cooking temp for each ingredient, until you realize you're missing an ingredient you need, then you have to go back to the store (Arch lol).
