Adding in preinstalled spyware is being considered over at red hat because apparently they haven't passed off their community enough pulling CentOS. https://discussion.fedoraproject.org/t/f40-change-request-privacy-preserving-telemetry-for-fedora-workstation-system-wide/85320

    Anonymous, opt-out usage metrics isn't spyware. You don't have to agree with it but calling it that is a huge exaggeration. Plenty of distros have these features already, just opt-in instead of opt-out.

    Plus the goal there is tipically to understand usage patterns for improving things, not selling data. At least for distros maintained by foundations, which don't operate for a profit.

    I'm happy to have my KDE telemetry turned up all the way.
