At least for Windows, can't you just quickly compare the ethical universes? I'm assuming that Phil didn't embrace-extend-extinguish other distros, Phil didn't secretly change Skype to break the encryption for LE, and Phil didn't upgrade the distro to do constant, inescapable telemetry and update arbitrarily downloading Gigs of data such that it interrupted a user's live broadcast.
In other words, if your decision is between Phil's distro and Windows, Phil's distro wins so it's the end of the story. And if the HN trolls you're responding to aren't claiming a 1:1 feature correspondence with "ethical" distro vs. Manjaro, who cares?
