I notice FOSS tends to give you more options, because anyone can fork something or contribute to a project and add the features they want. Corporations try to force their "vision" on everyone who doesn't want it, but FOSS projects let you own your own operating system and configure it how you want.
Yeah, some of the bigger projects seem to follow corporate trends, because they're mostly run by is non-profits very similarly to a corporation, and they need to appeal to a large base to get people to switch. Canonical even has for-profit motives, but if you're not using Ubuntu/Gnome then you don't need to give a shit what canonical does.
I was originally going to choose Zorin, but I decided against it specifically because I didn't want anything associated with Ubuntu. I considered LMDE, but I went with Endeavour and I'm happy with my choice.
