I run Gentoo, which has a telemetry use flag. This will enable telemetry for a number of packages.
I hate telemetry on non-FOSS software like Windows, but is there real harm in doing it with FOSS software? I like to think I’d be helping the devs create better software.
I personally have some telemetry on. Just like you, I like to think I’m helping the devs.
I enabled it all. I read through what they collect and it’s all very mild.
