Good call on the Fedora KDE devs, but if the Telemetry proposal is approved, I will never even consider any Fedora spin again.

telemetry as a whole isn’t bad. it depends what they are collecting. companies should provide a log of the (raw) telemetry data they’ve collected from you. if they’re not comfortable sharing it it’s probably too invasive.
I love how Syncthing handle this - they show you a link to a dashboard of what they collect. I opted in because of that.

I understand the fear of the word “telemetry” thanks to MS, google and others… But it is not all bad. If they show me what they collect, I’m ok with that. Good and honest telemetry is good actually.

I understand, but maybe I’m not. And opt-out telemetry, while I understand their arguments, is not something I agree with.

It seems like it. But for me, it’s also about the fact that it was offered by RedHat engineers, almost as if saying “Let’s not forget we have some control over Fedora, whether you like it or not”. And there’s other small issues such as the (in my opinion) terrible Anaconda installer still being used over Calamares, among other issues. The BEST thing that Fedora has done and that ALL self-respecting user-friendly distros MUST do is offer their version of the Fedora USB Tool (I think it was called Fedora USB Writer or something like that).

The Anaconda redesign has been on the works since Fedora 36, it’s bound to come as the default for Fedora Workstation 39. Also, you couldn’t be more wrong about the telemetry proposal even if you tried. The people that work at RedHat aren’t this idea of the EvIL REd HaT HiGhER UpS that you have in your mind. They are contributors just like any other volunteer in the project.

If they aren’t “a la romana” I am not interested.

I hope they do that for the rest of their distros.

Not the regular Fedora KDE Spin, just the Asahi Remix intended for Macbooks
