From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Anonymized telemetry doesn't hurt my feelings as long as it's opt in. Unfortunately, fedora's link to Rhel which has repeatedly kicked the community in the ribs worries me. Red hat may decide that fedora should collect by default in an update or that features will only be decided by telemetry instead of user request or developer interest.
Basically, Red Hat/IBM is my worry when it comes to this. No proof of anything at this point but I no longer have any faith in Red Hat.
