Please don't spread FUD. I'm not a huge fan of Ubuntu but be honest, its so-called telemetry drama from several years ago never required the command line to turn off, it was a switch in Unity's graphical settings app. Since that controversy it has always shipped opt-in, and non-Unity versions of Ubuntu never had the issue to start with. There are no Amazon "ads" apart from a link on the dock that is removed with a right-click, again no command line wizardry required.

Please don't lie.
