How bad is Chrome OS compared to Win10 in telemetry? If it's an issue, then I might install Linux on a Chromebook.
Microsoft gives you a choice.
If they were smart, they would just detect which packages get downloaded the most from http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/
>>53559146
Not a big choice tho, get now, later, or HAVE THESE FUCKIN UPGRADE ADS
>>53559144
you can wipe chromeOS and just install linux over the entire thing.
Why do Windows niggers always overuse "lol"? I sometimes imagine them to be Renfield,the laughing lunatic,from the Dracula movies.
>>53559205
what about the hardware? is it infected with botnets?
>>53559128
http://popcon.debian.org/
it's literally just a list of packages installed on the system
you can run it yourself to preview the report
>>53559181
that wouldn't include mirrors
>>53559223
it's infected with an inconvenient bootloader
[O] NO
[ ] Yes
PROBLEM SOLVED

No is the default choice.
>>53559128
See how it says 'no' right there?
When you select that option, it stays off.
When you do it with a non-enterprise windows 10, it turns itself back on.

I chose yes to this popularity-contest. I want Debian greater than Windows. It doesn't make my SO connected to Debian servers 24/7 like Microsoft do in Windows.
>>53559181
That's a good suggestion, but the main ftp is slow as shit. I always use a mirror. Pop con is completely optional anyway. They're not trying to pull the wool over anyone's eyes.

It defaults to no, though.

If Windows did it this way, nobody would complain. OSX and any Loonix distro does it this way and nobody complains either.
For Win XP - 8.1, you need to mess with the registry, not something a normal user could do.
For Win 10 you need to buy/torrent Enterprise AND STILL adjust 4151515 settings. Not something a normal user could do either.

You are a retarded nigger. No is the default choice. and you're making a blanket statement across all linux distros. Go back to Windows to you stupid fuck.
>>53559425
thank you, I didn't know that.
>>53559461
Sure thing, Anon. Hopefully it'll help you make more well-informed posts in the future now that you know the truth.

At least he's not balding desu.

Actually, it's no by default.

Thanks icecat
>>53559146
You're right. You get to decide if they fuck you in the ass, the ass and the mouth, or the ass, mouth and ears. But no matter which you choose, they're going to fuck you, whether you like it or not.
>>53560583
Telemetry is disabled by default even in regular firefox.
>>53560426
Considering open source doesn't mean shit anymore, they could simply still have it 'enabled' without you knowing, and since it is in the kernel they can easily block anything like wireshark from seeing the packets locally.
But nope, you just sit back and let other people audit the code and tell you what you want to hear.
Pajeet is getting desperate
Still haven't saved enough to buy a loo?

Cherry picking.
>>53560641
Having multiple groups of people (inherently unbiased) audit the code is more reliable than a co-operation that literally says they are free to collect your text inputs, browsing preference, encryption keys and login details when they wish from their own closed source OS.
Applying common sense is not too hard anon. No matter how MS shill may deny the code is still closed and you never know if you could disable the in-built spyware inside the OS. Have fun being deluded.
>>53559146
They give you a choice of "full spying" or "less spying" and then change what setting you've selected when you aren't looking. Not much of a choice if you ask me.
>>53559244

No is the default, faggot.

>>53559128
Debian: 1 option, turned off by default
Windows: tons of visible and hidden options, most of which are impossible to remove
>>53559128
eat a bag of dicks
>>53563766
Right, because multiple groups of people found glaring problems like the bash bug so quickly?
Face it, when you deal with kernels and operating systems, they are too complicated for anyone to truly audit.
Even if windows went open source, they could bury your precious nsa backdoors inside the code where no one would find it.
>>53565084
>He thinks it sends back encrypted screenshots
You are truly a special kind of retard
