I’d switch to Windows but I don’t want to use an OS that requires digging through shady online instructions and running random power shell scripts in order to stop it from spying on me until the next update.

I disabled telemetry on Linux(Arch, btw) by not installing enshittified corporate spyware masquerading as an operating system.

Are there any open-source tools that allow me to disable telemetry for Adobe,

Ocular/Scribus

Windows, Microsoft

Linux, Linux Foundation

NVIDIA, AMD

The drivers don’t have telemetry, it’s the software that comes with it.

On Linux you can just install the driver from your package manager without the need for any third party applications.
