Upcoming Telemetry feature

I participated 1 time several years ago before Windows 10 was released while on Windows 7. I’m on a completely different PC now. I like Steam but they don’t need my info.

I do mind telemetry. I prefer not to be scanned, surveyed, listed, or indexed.

Here is where I got the information:

Under Category 4, click on Manjaro KDE. It brings you to the following PDF:

From the PDF…
Category 4 entry:

  • KUserFeedback telemetry engine built-in & can’t be uninstalled or removed.
  • Although “off” engine will function in background
    gathering information & store in /home/user/.config/kde.org/files

Summary entry:

  • Instructed by KDE-org all distros desktops have to create forced
    dependencies with cat.4 KUserFeedback telemetry if user is to install
    KDE software like Kate or Dolphin. And Manjaro complied and made this
    forced dependency.
  • But in Manjaro KDE desktop cat.4 KUserFeedback telemetry is mandatory; If removed the system freezes beyond repair.
