  • Well, I wouldn’t really say that it’s used as a Windows replacement at the company I’m working at, because all the business stuff is still being done using Windows, but almost all developers are using Linux.

Because of the higher freedom, I can even tolerate the slightly smaller pay rate and benefits that I could earn elsewhere.

    We are mostly working on EDA tooling.

    Really? How am I supposed to trust these guys with my data, when they show me a pop-up like that? I guess that this data is anonymous only because otherwise the telemetry would need to be opt-out… oh wait, they explicitly said that:

    That said, Fedora Legal has determined that if we collect any personally-identifiable data, the entire metrics system must be opt-in. Since we are only interested in opt-out metrics due to the low value of opt-in metrics, we must accordingly never collect any personally-identifiable data.
