Really, like google?

yes!
if you have compatible hardware, try to run Debian or Trisquel only.
If you want freedom.
My MO is, if my hardware supports it, RUN #FLOSS only!
#GNULinux
Debian is my go to OS for running VMs in the cloud--Google, AWS...
Trisquel takes the Linux Kernel and removes all the proprietary blobs by default.
Libre Kernel only!!!
Ubuntu is a distro OWNED by the CORPORATION called CANNONICAL.
enough said....
There are advantages to having a company supporting a distribution, just ask Red Hat. 😉
I am using Pop!_OS supported by the folks at system76. I run it on my own hardware.
