       @BrodieOnLinux@mstdn.social I disagree with your take on monitor information not being useful since things like high refresh rate and HDR support in DisplayPort vs HDMI 2.0 or just generally somewhat weird monitors (my Dell S2721QS acts kinda strange when woken up after blanking from inactivity, both on Windows and Linux) are definitely concerns - especially with the Wayland transition still being ongoing and HDR being an upcoming feature in various compositors.

       @aliceif Monitor information is absolutely useful but not all information is

       @BrodieOnLinux Consent is key, without that it’s nothing more than scummy data hoovering. Just because the majority of people are ill-informed about data privacy or simply don’t care is no justification for taking their data anyway.

       @BrodieOnLinux @aliceif They could get that info the way Garuda Linux does when asking for support you have to insert  your garuda-inxiwhich provides just about as much information as you could ever want and makes troubleshooting at least in my case much easier and I’m not even at tech. But  it is all user submitted when they ask a question on the form if they actually want help. it could offer 2 send a scale down version when the command completes.

       @BrodieOnLinux ironically, Steam actually handles this really well. Though, importantly, they don't have any of the transparency. It seems they sample a random group of users and prompt them when they want data from them every time.
