Best Linux Distro Privacy/Usability for a mid level user

What do you think is the best linux distro for a user who wants to migrate from windows in terms of privacy, usability and respect for the FOSS spirit?

I'm thinking to give a chance to #ElementaryOS https://elementary.io

@privacy @linux
According to most of the responses so far, Eeementary is not the best choice. So I think I will try #LinuxMint as the first option.

@carloshr @privacy @linux Elementary used to feel way ahead of its time, now it feels a bit behind instead. Not exactly a bad distro, but also not my top pick. Linux Mint has been rock solid for me for many years.

Linux Mint is great for beginners and is simular to Windows.
