There are reasons for data collection. But having it be opt out instead of opt in is the more evil of the two choices.

Fedora, from what I last heard, is doing the same thing for new installs. You gonna go send your pitchfork over that way too?

  1. There isn’t actually a reason for data collection. We know this because prior to this the telemetry wasn’t present. So the things we need the drivers to do don’t actually require them.

  2. Well, yeah. A lot of people were talking about switching from Fedora past few weeks.
