Hello,
I’ve heard that Ubuntu may not fully prioritize user privacy and collects telemetry data. Could you please clarify:
Is this accurate? Are there Linux distributions that place a stronger emphasis on privacy?
Thank you 🙏🏼

If you use Debian, even the simple “package popularity contest” is a default “no” in the installer.
That said, your personal conception of privacy is gonna be different than lots of other people’s.
Debian will include new systemd age-verification. A way to avoid it is Devuan Linux, which is basically Debian but with sysvinit instead of sytemd.
Ahh, let me be clear: systemd is bad. Age verification is maybe bad.
The age verification added to systemd is a field in the userdb json that the administrator can set. It’s intended to comply with California law that requires the device attest when queried.
If that isn’t clear enough: it’s a plaintext field in a text document set by the administrator.
If that still isn’t clear enough: the California law lets you lie and the systemd implementation is designed to accommodate that allowance.
Op should use devuan to not have systemd though, that shit sucks.
