There are telemetry options you will have to disable and I am not quite sure if bugs are not reported automatically in silent mode in certain distributions.

Have a look here gnu.org/philosophy/ubuntu-spyware....

That is why privacy was not added to the article.

Thanks, for the feedback.

Linux itself doesn't have telemetry options, so, the sentence "Linux is powerful and preserver your privacy" is 100% true :D

Unlike Windows, it is more accessible to disable.

I agree, with Linux we can even rewrite the whole system if we want too.

Word of warning don't do that on actual hardware try in VM(virtual machine) first :D
