Ubuntu, like many other distributions geared to the masses,
is not pure Linux.  It is Linux overlain with custom software
utilities that potentially can do anything.

The only way to get pure Linux is to roll your own distro 
( http://www.linuxfromscratch.org ) or use something that
is highly configurable like Gentoo ( https://www.gentoo.org ).

It's much easier than you would perhaps think, and there are
many folks on the forums willing to help.

I use a customized Gentoo Linux and I have complete, total,
and unequivocal control of my system.  I know exactly what
is happening at all times.  I can never be compromised,
monitored, or tracked by anything ever.

For me, that's the way it will always be.

My MS Windows boxen are almost the same as I modify them
heavily (disable services, alter registry entries, etc.).
But there is still a lot that I don't understand about MS
Windows and because it is a closed source OS I will never
fully trust it.

On any OS, however, there is one thing to always be concerned
about and that is the Internet browser.  Virtually all browsers
are bloated monstrosities that attempt to do everything for
the user and such open-ended versatility is always potential
trouble.  There is little choice available but there is some
hope:

http://www.gnu.org/software/gnuzilla/


I can't understand why a browser can't be just a simple, unadorned
wrapper for the rendering engine.

When in doubt, which is often, I will use Links in graphical mode:
