The Linux one just links you to a more minimal distro, I take it? Ubuntu to Debian/Fedora to Arch to Gentoo to LFS?
The Linux section helps you remove some bloatware files and telemetry. It’s compatible with most distros. I don’t want to recommend anything; it depends on what you’re looking for.
In general, debian and fedora are very good entry‑level distros. You can also take a look at cachyos, arch, nix, or qubeos if you’re more advanced.
Oh, I was joking, since most distros only have "bloat" insofar as it makes the experience easier but may be unnecessary for more experienced users, nothing to the degree of Windows adware. I use KDE neon because I want APT and KDE and needed kernel 6.08 before Debian had it.
