Their install process likely gives them data already on things like user hardware, Intel vs AMD for example. Telemetry could help find performance issues though, like if one processor type is always slow to boot or if AMD graphics cards have frame rate issues with certain tasks.

Also, as I understand, they don't collect framerate in current version.
- _heimdall 2y agoI don't disagree, it should be opt-in. > Also, as I understand, they don't collect framerate in current version. That seems reasonable, I haven't used Manjaro for a couple years so I didn't take the time to see exactly what they want to track. That's just an example though, they wouldn't bother collecting the data if there is actually no value to them collecting it. I haven't seen anything about them selling data, so I'd expect the value is in improving the product.
