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 🙏🏼

Yes, it’s accurate. Although I enjoyed using Ubuntu (iirc started with 5.10 or 6.10) due to it’s friendliness to newcomers, Canonical is on the business side of Linux distributions (think Redhat).
Debian (which Ubuntu is derived from), is privacy friendly and leans heavily towards the open source ethos imo.
With that being said there’s tons of options out there. Distrowatch is a great place to window shop before grabbing a live .iso :)
