Hello,

I’ve heard that Ubuntu may not fully prioritize user privacy and collects telemetry data. Could you please clarify:

Is this accurate? Are there Linux distributions that place a stronger emphasis on privacy?

Thank you 🙏🏼

    but ironically I always enable telemetry when it is disabled and disable when enabled by default.

    Because reverse psychology. People always does or assume the opposite, because people assume the others wants to hurt them. Yes I made that up and am just joking, but maybe there is some logic behind it. Don’t take this as some sort of personal attack!

      Well I assume that if it is enabled by default there is nefarius thoughts involved, but when it isn’t devs have to little data to work with…
