Google has no room to talk here with Android.
or chromeos
Ironically a Linux-derived OS.
It’s always good practice to be careful who you trust with your data. Open =/= private. More choices helps, though.
Android is very far from linux desktop. And it is private, its is google services that are bad, therefore we can have things like calyx and graphene os still be private.
Depends on how one frames it. It’s not the Stallman-defined “GNU+Linux” pureblood OS, but it nevertheless is built from a modified version of the Linux kernel.
And like any OS it can be made private and secure with the right components…or it can be cracked open like a data-farming egg without them.
I guess I can just take the low-hanging fruit and invoke Ubuntu as an alternative example, which was once something of a Linux entry point but has become more than fine collecting user data.

Linux … you guys make money
spying?apple doesnt make billions spying. facebook and amazon do of course too.
Apple made 4 billion in 2023 from selling advertisements on their devices. Sure, it’s only ~1% of Google’s ad business buts still technically billions
That’s not the same as spying. Apple famously doesn’t hand over user data to ad companies.
They are themselves an ad company though.
”only on the web”, …yeah right.
I feel like MS and Google should be switched. Web probably has more harvestable info. Plus phones.
The OS handles all the network requests, can take screenshots, and track your eyes
But yeah Google Linux is way more popular than Windows for personal use
Who made this meme forgot about android lol
…and chromeOS
spy
Spy ON.
