    > Fedora uses telemetry Which is why I don't use Fedora and am moving away from Ubuntu: telemetry is fine as long as there is 100% transparency about every single byte of data transmitted from my PC to a remote server, and I have full control to review all information sent and when it is sent without having to go through hoops to research arcane commands and read fine print.
