       Explicit choice: this is probably technically an explicit opt-in, but I think it is a more useful presentation. A feature is clearly presented with two options, enable or disable, and the risks/benefits are clearly laid out as part of the choice. The user must actively make a decision, and neither is considered the “default.” It has risks of choice paralysis (“I don’t know which one to choose! What if I make the wrong decision? Can I change my mind later? Maybe I install Ubuntu instead because it just has telemetry checked by default so I don’t have to think about it.”) If the community does not want an explicit opt out, then I think this is the direction I would pursue—I mention this more below when talking about design).What do you think about this compromise about the Fedora telemetry proposal?https://discussion.fedoraproject.org/t/f40-change-request-privacy-preserving-telemetry-for-fedora-workstation-system-wide/85320/264#Fedora #telemetry

       @Bidgehop I think it is the right direction. Every user of a smart phone must make some of these choices during setup so I don't think that a Linux user would have any difficulties with it.Also, when installing Debian, you get the same question about telemetry regarding their package system.
