I want an OS that works for me, not for some corporation.


Tough luck, that doesn't exist. Linux doesn't work and the others, by your definition, work for some corporation. Although this is blind zealotry, O&O shutup takes care of those problems but when did facts stop cults -- because that's what Linux people became. I have been using Linux since 1993 and once I thought similarly and have grown thoroughly disillusioned. It never worked well on the desktop and extremely likely never will. There's a long, long list of forum posts on Arch of me trying to use the damn thing over too many years and then this breaks or that breaks.

Well, Windows also never worked well on the desktop*. And current Linux works for me better than current or past Windows*.

*for me - your experience may be different
