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:
https://www.summertime.tech/dtw.EN.html
Under Category 4, click on Manjaro KDE. It brings you to the following PDF:
https://www.summertime.tech/dtw/dtw%2002-Manjaro.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.
