I run Gentoo, which has a telemetry use flag. This will enable telemetry for a number of packages.
I hate telemetry on non-FOSS software like Windows, but is there real harm in doing it with FOSS software? I like to think I’d be helping the devs create better software.
Unless I’m misunderstanding, that’s all related to those KDE packages. I’d say if you’re a heavy user of Plasma or apps relying on those KDE packages you might as well enable it.
Up to your comfort level though, personally I don’t mind for stuff like that. On KDE’s community site they have this showing what telemetry is collected for Plasma.
I use KDE which is why I’m interested in this in the first place. I think I’ll enable it.
