I have to use ubuntu, and it is getting creepy too.

just off the top of my head:

- whoopsie - uploads crashes to canonical

- motd - telemetry and nags

- forced automatic updates

- snaps and other features lots of people don't want, but can't be disabled

- removing the ubuntu-advantage package disables most of the OS

etc..

Do not use Ubuntu. It is becoming nearly unusable due to this stuff. Fedora or Debian or whatever else.

They also defaulted to sending searches through Amazon a few years ago.
