Ubuntu :
Does Ubuntu spy on users?
Meh, allegedly, as far as I remember they weren't actually spying but accusation persisted.
They included default telemetry around 18.04, u could and can opt out but it was a kick in the balls.
Even then its nowhere near Microsoft, Apple and Google.
I think the main complaints came from running Amazon searches when you searched in Unity’s dash
Searching for something locally could unintentionally send searches to the internet
They’re removed now that Unity is gone, though
