When you say less of it, are there certain telemetry things that can’t be turned off? If so, which ones?

I tried Linux myself and it just wasn’t s polished product. Especially hiDPL, you get “normal” and “double”, that isn’t ok. Windows even gives you fractional options for that. I assume Mac does too?

I’ve tried Linux mint and looked at a couple other distros. The customization of hiDPL is pretty much lacking in all distros I looked at or tried. You either get “normal”, which is simply too small or “double” which makes everything too big. This makes Linux unusable from an OS perspective at home for me. Do to my screen size and eyesight, it doesn’t work for me. I really want Linux to work btw.

I see how Linux is great for server stuff. But, the OS experience I had so far had been horrible. It feels like there are simply too many distros and not enough focus on just making a few really great ones. Instead, it feels like you have lots of just OK distros instead.

For the tweetbot, do you at least hace the option of not using iCloud, or is that not possible?

With the Apple store, I don’t really care if they know I own a product. I just don’t want them tracking what I do with it or what files I save with it. I assume Apple doesn’t do this? I know Microsoft can depending on things.

Was there anything you saw with littlesnitch that hinted some telemetry stuff was being sent that could be “personal data” that a person who likes privacy would be concerned about?

I’m leaning heavily towards getting a Mac now. I find it hilarious given that windows literally could have simply not done this telemetry thing to prevent it, but i guess they couldn’t help themselves.
