What is the best free non spy ware operating system that runs along side windows 7 sixty four bit desktop PC understand bunt and Linux is a spy ware even though they indicate that they are not?

Answer 1

Linux as a platform and the kernel project have been and still are open-source to ensure that no malware or spyware have been inserted, and if any have been inserted, would be found and called out relatively quickly. For the most part, a large majority of Linux distribution maintainers and contributors have the general stance AGAINST spying on their users. However, there are exceptions - Ubuntu seems to be following Microsoft's footsteps (seeing as Microsoft is also part of the Linux Foundation) with their opt-in telemetry by default. For the most part, Ubuntu-based distributions that are not affiliated with Canonical should be okay if you wish to stick with Ubuntu's familiarity.
