Do you just care about privacy, or is it your primary focus?
There are Linux distros like Tails which will be very hard to use day to day, but if you are laser focused on privacy, it's between that and CubesOS (not Linux).
Most Linux distros will give you reasonable privacy from an OS standpoint, from there it's up to you to have good practices with your data.
QubesOS. Also TailsOS isn't too bad if you do persistent memory and don't mind slow internet traffic over Tor. I find it plenty usable for simple browsing and downloadikg small files.
