What do you all think of the Red Hat drama a few months ago? I just learned about it and looked into it a bit. I’ve been using Fedora for a while now on my main system, but curious whether you think this will end up affecting it.
My take is that yes, it’s kinda a shitty move to do but I get why RH decided to stop their maintenance given they’re a for profit company.
What do you guys think? Do you still use or would you consider using Fedora?
Opt-out telemetry has never been the standard for Linux distros.
If we have to bash Ubuntu for telemetry, we have to bash Fedora with the same stick.
I’m not saying you shouldn’t use Fedora. I’m saying I wouldn’t.
Opt out telemetry is already used by some.
Ok, if you get offended by opt-out telemetry that’s completely anonymous, transparent, and only helps developers, then that’s fine. Don’t use it. Or opt out.
No amount of gaslighting by you or excusing telemetry for good reason will change my opinion on opt-out telemetry.
I don’t think you know what gaslighting means.
But ok, I’m not trying to change your mind lol - I said don’t use it
Maybe you should look up the definition of the word and come back to your previous comments.
Yeah. That’s totally what I’m doing when I remind you that telemetry exists in multiple distros and I explained that the telemetry Fedora was considering adding has been independently confirmed as not having any personally identifiable information.
It’s okay dude. You got to learn a new vocabulary today.
Use whatever distro looks shinier to your eyes.
I’m never ever going to use a distro that forces telemetry on its unsuspecting users.
Let it rest.
I didn’t, you did. You’re the one who didn’t know what gaslighting is lol
And it doesn’t force it
Stop spreading misinformation lmao
