But I was pointing out that telemetry wasn't just Windows/OS X exclusive. Ubuntu's devs tried it (though via Amazon advertising/deals), and then the backlash caused them to drop it.
Honestly, what stops me from using Linux as a daily driver is that a lot of the games I play on PC are multiplayer and thus have anti-cheat like Easy Anti-Cheat that will probably never get Linux ports.

Valid point. What's more, Ubuntu is a company run distro. I think you're right and I would add that telemetry is therefore more likely to be related to the business model in question rather than FOSS/Not FOSS.
About the daily driver issue, the solution I found was dual-booting windows on a separate SSD partition. This way I get to play the games that use Easy AC. Although be aware that workarounds sometimes do exist for game that run EAC. This was I was able to get Squad to run on my Linux partition; although I did experience bugs because my hardware is cursed.
Use pop!_os instead
