Starting in 2018, the Ubuntu installer will collect data about users' devices. This has caused outrage among Linux users. First of all, it's opt-out, rather than opt-in. Secondly, it shouldn't even be there. Third, Canonical (the makers of Ubuntu) have a very poor track record on privacy, including collecting local searches to boost Amazon sales and hostility towards critics or their privacy practices. Try Linux Mint or Manjaro instead.
