Does it come with telemetry enabled by default[1] as the Microsoft binaries do? Or does the Ubuntu version either remove that code or make sure to set the DOTNET_CLI_TELEMETRY_OPTOUT environment variable everywhere? If "Canonical and Microsoft are committed to working together", probably the former.

Yes, telemetry collection is still opt-out. I just tried it.

  Are you sure about that? Can you share the steps I can run to reproduce that? I am looking at the sources at https://packages.ubuntu.com/source/jammy-updates/dotnet6 https://packages.ubuntu.com/source/jammy-updates/dotnet6 and (as far as I can tell) they are applying a patch called 1500sdk-telemetry-optout.patch (originally from Fedora https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/dotnet3.1/blob/f36/f/cli-telemetry-optout.patch https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/dotnet3.1/blob/f36/f/cli-...) that is supposed to make telemetry opt-in. There's a better fix landing upstream for .NET 7: https://github.com/dotnet/sdk/pull/25935 https://github.com/dotnet/sdk/pull/25935

    Repro steps: sudo apt install dotnet6 - Observe the “telemetry enabled” message.

        Maybe it's because I'm trying it on WSL2. Filed a bug for my experience.

Most distro packages for .NET have disabled telemetry.
