sadly its more than that friend: https://github.com/gp187/Ubuntu-Privacy-Fix/blob/master/ubuntu_secure.sh
encourage canonical to do better ; we deserve it.
I have to ask, when was the last time you even looked at a screenshot of Ubuntu? That script is from the Unity era. The first lines remove a shopping lense. Not a thing since 2016. And even if it was still somehow valid which it's not, it's mostly hardening the OS. Yes, stock Ubuntu is not an impenetrable fortress. No distro is.
Also the stupid script removes a local logging service which is not used anymore either, but here's a thread about it https://askubuntu.com/questions/180990/what-is-zeitgeist-used-for
Tbh I don't like how they approach bug reports at all. When I reported an issue on Bluefin's website it got fixed literally within hours. Its devs care about details like that. Ubuntu devs? As long as the bug is not causing devices to burst up in flames it's fine. Case in point: the new flutter installer being a broken piece of shit ever since it was introduced with no effort being made to fix it. (That one really makes me mad because in any new video I see the new installer runs into errors or crashes) Or how 24.04's desktop icons extension contains a bug with a fix ready to be released - it just isn't.
But to be fair this LTS used to be muuuch worse upon launch. So at least some minimal effort is being done to fix it.
Rant aside, I fully respect people's choices. It's just an operating system. You can swap it literally within minutes in case of Linux. Spreading misinformations isn't cool even if someone hates a particular distro.
ok but all the other telemetry in the script is still there
nice meme lol
ill watch the video on invidious later
its a good thing if im wrong about ubuntu, but im more than a little skeptical
