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 🙏🏼

    Even Debian has popcon as an opt in. I can see why collecting data about hardware and package choices is useful to Ubuntu. I didn’t think they collected any personally identifying information.

      I found a homemade Ubuntu 8.04 installer disk the other day, simpler times. It had it’s place.

      I will never forgive the amazon partnership with the desktop search bar.
