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 🙏🏼

    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.
