Which Linux Distribution is Best Without Compromises?

If you're really concerned about the software that comes packaged with a distro, you might want to try Arch Linux. It gives you total control over what you install.

What do you mean by 'compromised by concession'? It seems like a pretty vague term. Are you specifically referring to software like Netflix being integrated into the installer? If that's the case, I don't think that Netflix is actually in the Linux Mint installer. It wouldn't make much sense to include it as part of the installation process.

The Mint Installer has Netflix mentioned? That's the first I've heard of it. Are you worried that the Mint developers are getting money from Netflix or something? That seems a bit far-fetched.

If you're looking for a distro that prioritizes open-source software, have you considered Fedora? Its baseline version sticks to open-source software only, which might align more with what you're looking for.
