Honestly, your best bet is to use a mac.

  Did you try running Little Snitch lately? There's at least 5-6 daemons that keep contacting Apple and reporting on you on mac as well. And pretty much every 3rd party app uploads behaviour analytics without the ability to turn it off as well.

    1. Apple's telemetry is anonymize and not as invasive. 2. It's one option clearly in the setup and system preferences and easily disabled. Neither of those is true for Windows 10.

    I installed Little Snitch for cracked Adobe suite, but holy fuck the constant barrage of daemons trying to connect made me disable it completely. Albeit most of them seemed to be related to iCloud or app updates

      This is my experience as well with Adobe CC. At least 10 different daemons, some of them instances of node.js constantly connecting to adobe-owned IPs. Some of them even using very high amounts of CPU. Turning everything off from the CC settings didn't even make a difference. I don't want fucking software I paid for to make my PC a part of a botnet, so I deleted all their stuff and tried to cancel my subscription to CC. I couldn't do that because their terms allow them to charge your credit card for the remainder of the year, even if you receive no service. After a few angry emails with a supervisor they finally agreed to cancel my subscription. What a shady POS company.

  You best bet in running an FSF certified operating system on open hardware like a Novena or a BeagleBone Black.
