Corporate ethics-wise, Canonical is vastly better than Microsoft.

But I prefer Debian Stable, for reasons both pragmatic and on-principle:

(Or people can go to a confusing download page: https://www.debian.org/distrib/ )

Debian isn't heading down the best path either with their their policies (keeping the child sex predator on their payroll to do conferences that often times parents bring kids to, forcing the removal of the fortune packafe because it was deemed offensive, openly stating that straight white males shouldn't apply for internship, etc)
The Amazon Lens was pretty bad ethically.

However Canonical apologised, and removed it.

Microsoft doubled down, adding more adverts.

Just BSD and chill
