what is the best privacy distro?

For my phone, I use Graphene OS. What would be the best desktop Linux option to match the level of security and privacy that GOS provides?

Looks like they do add quite a bit security features. Having SELinux installed and working out of the box being the biggest. https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Security_Features

My question is simple: Which of these security features are not enabled/present in Ubuntu that give Fedora an advantage?

SELinux has a functional equivalent called Apparmor that is also enabled out of the box in most distros.

Selinux is more secure then app armor, but more difficult to use. Ubuntu is also pretty secure, I'm just not as familiar with it. I mentioned it for the privacy but, since it used to have some Amazon bloat crapped bundled and telemetry built in.

I have nothing against your personal preferences. But maybe compare today's Ubuntu vs Fedora. It would be a much more fair comparison.

I see zero reason to use Ubuntu over Fedora

What a fantastic internet argument.

why everything gotta be an argument, sometimes it's just fun to say your opinion like you would talking to someone in person. Wonder what it is about text chat that kind of changes the dynamic
