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 🙏🏼

    I’ve never heard about any privacy issues there, but, it’s worth keeping in mind

    You would hear about it, and as someone happy there, it’s a recurring nightmare, but an actual credible threat would be worth so many dollars lost to them that there’s a low likelihood. Shit, Torvalds runs fedora, still, keep a weather eye open.

    Mostly Linux has the virtue of the many eyes on open source protection, but it’s far from absolute, as the rise of supply chain exploits demonstrates.
