  Systemd's default dns settings, depending on distro defaults. Yes, it's not the kernel you are probably starting to nitpick about, but it doesn't run anywhere else, so far.

    So it's not Linux but certain privacy-unfriendly distros.

      I'm not exactly sure, anymore. I think I've first read about it, some years ago, at the time not using systemd anywhere, personally. IIRC it was about the default dns servers pointing to cloudflare and google in upstream. So it would rather be the other way around. The upstream default was(is?) privacy unfriendly. What the distros do with this is another matter. Similar stuff arose with timesyncd (ntp), and some other small thing which I can't remember anymore, atm.

        You do have a point: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23712434 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23712434 Nevertheless it's a tiny thing compared with every other item in your list, and many respected distros fix it.

  Linus was born a Finn but is now a US national.

    GNU/Linux is FLOSS, so nationality doesn't matter.

    This doesn't look fair indeed, but it's not what the parent was saying at all. Linux doesn't belong to the same list as the megacorps.
