I totally agree. It's a shame, Fedora really is an awesome distro. Adding telemetry was to be expected since IBM is the parent company of Red hat and almost anything IBM touches turns to crap.

yeah might be time to distro hop i guess

Fedora is what finally got me to stop distro hopping 2-3 years ago. :(

Same. It would be a real shame if we need to jump ship.

fedora is my first experience with linux and i thought i made a good choice and i never had to mess around anymore but now i am seriously considering it :/
