@BrodieOnLinux One of the worst oxymorons of late. If you give up data you're not preserving privacy.

@BrodieOnLinux At this point, anything associated with Red Hat gets whatever it deserves. Jay from Learn Linux TV was right. If you're using a distribution owned by a corporation, you need to consider your options (i.e., leaving). It's too bad because Fedora is a great distribution. But this is squarely the fault of Red Hat for causing this to happen (since 7 out of the 9 members of FESCo are employees of Red Hat, who is also pushing for this opt-out telemetry).

I left Redhat for anything important 11 years ago and have never regretted it.

@BrodieOnLinux Definitely gonna clown on my fedora-using friend now lolIn all seriousness, at least it would be opt-out so even though I too am hard against telemetry, as long as there is a choice to opt out in any software I use, then I don't really have reason to complain.Plus, at least they're self aware unlike a certain set of our favourite tech giants.

@roguesensei Opt-out is the bare minimum expected, if it wasn't opt-out it would be fair to call it spyware no questions asked.

@BrodieOnLinux just flipped from Fedora Silverblue to OpenSuSE Aeon because of how RedHat did the home server community dirty, but this just adds insult to injury.And what a sad day it is. Fedora has been in the vanguard for developing technology specifically catered to the Linux desktop. We're talking PipeWire, their contribution to Flatpak, pushing and developing Wayland, etc. They were the heroes we needed, now that I can't recommend Ubuntu or Fedora, what can I recommend?

@roguesensei @BrodieOnLinux Telemetry wasn't the reason I opted out, the reason I left is that RedHat strongly advised against third party repositories and if you used them you often ended up in dependency hell that took hours to days to resolve, where as Ubuntu not only endorsed their use but even provided free space for them in the form of PPAs. And in the early days of Ubuntu I used to also find myself in frequent dependency hell, but in more recent releases rarely has that been an issue and if it is, ppa-purge makes it easy to resolve, purge whatever PPA is causing the issues, upgrade, then re-install.
