For example, if you use Windows, which I purchased a laptop last year running windows 8, Microsoft (Gates of hell) need you to supply an email before you can reach your desktop so they can track who you are. I don't like that.
Just like credit card, they know who is paying for what. I use crypto and when i decided to support an organization, I just use crypto and they don't know who I am, and I do not need to give them an email, an address and no bank needs to know that I am supporting a company or an organization.
Gates want to know everything you do.
Ok - the Microsoft ID. They make it look like you have to use one just to login to your PC. You do not. I didn't use a Microsoft ID until recently, and only because I got Office365 for the family. It comes with 1TB of OneDrive for 5 people, so I encrypt some backup stuff and keep it there. You can skip the Microsoft ID stuff when setting the PC up, and just create your own local account (unless you are using something that requires it like Office). You can also go in now and add another user as a local user, and even give it administrator access. You can also find out online how to disable a lot of the Windows telemetry and spyware from Microsoft. It got a little harder with 10 and 11 but there are good guides online.
By the way - you should be able to upgrade the Windows 8 to 10 or 11 (if the PC us able to run it) for free. Windows 8 was awful. I have upgraded from 7 to 11 several times before. At a prior job we had hundreds of PCs with the windows 7 license stickers but IT registered them with a volume license key - so they never used the stickers. They let me use as many as I wanted for labs I created since they already paid for them but would never use them. They used Enterprise, and the stickers were for Windows 7 pro.

Ok. I'm going to use Linux next so I don't have to deal with Microsoft. You mentioned Ubuntu. I will look into that.
Good choice. I use https://ubuntu-mate.org/about/ but you might prefer regular Ubuntu if you like the interface in Windows 8. I prefer Mate because it doesn't remind me of Windows - ymmv. https://ubuntu.com/download/desktop . There will be more tutorials for regular Ubuntu than for Ubuntu-Mate so I would try regular Ubuntu first. There are a ton of guides online - just search for how to install ubuntu.
Couple things - Ubuntu releases development versions every 6 months in April and October, but the 6 month releases will need upgrades more often than what they call the LTS releases - Long Term Support. LTS releases come out every 2 years, and core packages are supported for 5 years while non-core are generally supported for 3 years. The current LTS is 22.04 (2022 April) so in April of 2024 a new LTS release will be available. I suggest you stick to the LTS releases.
You can always play with it for a bit on a live cd also. Just download the CD or burn the ISO file to a USB key and you can boot into live mode. It is much slower than actually installing it but it is a good test, and the cd/USB can be used as a rescue CD if you ever need one - or it can be used to access your windows stuff if you didn't encrypt your hard drive.
Feel free to reach out if you get stuck. I'll help when I can.
Thank you. I will do that.
