it uses snap (less packages and security than flatpak), app.armor (less secure than Selinux), has a history of anti-privacy integrations (like sending user keystrokes to amazon), still collects some user data. Tumbleweed is better. Great kde implementation, strong security, a lot of cutting-edge software, stability, beginner-friendly
- False (except for less packages, that's true), false, the amazon incident was a honest mistake and only applied to the search bar in unity (even more specifically the amazon lense), and no data is being collected unless you enable it during the install. https://youtu.be/rdPt8WB1lZw
  Also are you serious? A rolling release distro with automated package builds being more secure? Last time I checked Tumbleweed got affected by the XZ exploit.
- sending user keystrokes to Amazon
  That's a very serious allegation to make without citing any source.
  Still collects some user data
  Someone has already pointed out, no data is collected unless the user opts in. But, my question is what's wrong with collecting anonyomized telemetry about most used hardware and most used/unused software features? It helps developers make better decisions.
  
  when i want to aid development with writing down my hardware, i should be able to send them, not they should collect it from me.
  
  Most distros let you either opt-in or opt-out of it though. It's really not as big of a deal as people make it out to be. Besides, the "general" population switching to Linux doesn't really care about anonymized telemetry.
  Discouraging people to not use a certain distro due to its optional and anonymized telemetry, is foolish.
  
  idk but i'd switch to linux for absolutely zero telemetry, or as little as physically possible, while still maintaining a good gaming experience. That's the reason i'm planning to buy an amd build, not nvidia, i don't want propertiary drivers even
