Ive been using linux since 2010. And the first thing that scrached my head a the time is, why would I trust more a linux distro dev team intead of a multimillion corporaration with the bigest userbase. The short ansers is that you don't have to trust at all. Because it's open-source! You don't have to be a computer genius to understand that if every one on the planet can verify and fixe de code. You don't have to do it yourself, a lot of people will do it for you, and for free. Just relax, try a linux distro that look good for you. This will change you life forever. You can now become sovereign on any computer.
