Speceficially the telemetry use flag. On one hand, fuck telemetry, but on the other hand, I trust FOSS developers to do the right thing vs the likes of Microsoft and Google.

    I haven’t. Firstly I hadn’t noticed it and secondly I think KDE has plenty of users to draw telemetry from without my help. Maybe I’ll reconsider in the future, but for now it stays off.

      Of course now I also realize that with me using the unholy trinity of KDE + Wayland + nVidia, enabling telemetry might actually be helpful because as I understand it, the main purpose is to see how many people use Wayland vs X11, different drivers, etc, for prioritizing work on certain configurations.
