Which Linux distro does not have ties with Google

Linux Mint comes in two flavours its worth noting “Zena” Linux Mint 22.3 (Ubuntu) and the LMDE (Debian)

Debian ( Download LMDE 7 - Linux Mint ) is the one to go for if you want FOSS Free and Open-Source Software,

Debian is made up of free and open source software and will always be 100% free. Free for anyone to use, modify, and distribute. This is our main promise to our users. It’s also free of cost.

Ubuntu

Ubuntu is not open source. Its a project that uses many FOSS projects but Ubuntus source code is not open to anyone.
