It's best not to start with the privacy angle if you're trying to explain to your parents why you want to use Linux. Start by mentioning that it's a popular platform for those in STEM careers. It's required to learn to Linux to get an IT degree because most of the world's websites, database, and supercomputers run Linux. You could share that Microsoft <3 Linux. I may be biased, but I think https://pop.system76.com/ does a great job of promoting Linux in a way that would entice parents.
