Linux distros log a TON about what you’re doing by default.
Tonnes of software uses systemd-journald to log errors, the bash shell saves everything you type into the terminal, and wtmp, btmp, utmp all track exactly who is logged in and when, and the kernel uses dmesg to log a bunch of stuff.
While the system isn’t sending these logs to Microsoft or Google, anyone who gets into your system like police or hackers can see almost everything that you have been doing.
If you want to be private, you must disable them.
By that rationale, no machine is “private”, as they store all of your personal files and documents! 😬
Look out! Your computer is SPYING on you! Did you know your computer has ALL of your PRIVATE photos, documents, and personal information on it!
All it would take would be someone to have physical access to it and the encryption keys and they would have access to all of it!
