Fedora or UwUntu.
- Fedora KDE would be my suggestion
- Fuck Red Hat and their closed source bullshit
  
  While I agree with the sentiment, fedora is fairly independent to their RHEL in terms of operations right?
  
  I just don't want to associate with anything Canonical or Red Hat if I can help it
  
  I get that but at this point shouldn't we get more people on this side. Like I think redhad and canonical are infinitely better than microsoft. Lesser of 2 evils and all. Who knows one day they may start using arch (btw)
  
  Also uwuntu is a derivative of Ubuntu.
  
  Or, why not use something that's neither of the three?
  
  Suggestions?
  
  Linux Mint Debian Edition.
  
  Obviously you can't completely rid yourself of all RedHat influence but Fedora is their literal upstream community testing ground and LMDE really does limit their influence heavily and that of Canonical (Ubuntu) by just building off of the more community based Debian (which Ubuntu built off of as well)
  
  OP literally said they want to avoid mint due to bad experiences.
  
  Standard Linux mint is is Ubuntu based, LMDE is debian based. Completely different depending on the issues they had.
  
  Edit: but also plenty of other Debian based distros, including Debian itself would avoid direct Ubuntu (Canonical) and Fedora (RedHat) influence.
  
  While I agree with your point I don't think a lot of people will be open to that cause they may not be aware of base distros and all that and in the end it would seem like you're not listening to them.
  
  I use NixOS FWIW
  
  And I use Slackware fwiw
  
  I agree. I don't trust any of the shilling surrounding their distros.
