Image transcription:

it's a swole doge vs cheems meme

on swole doge side, there are two popups: kCrash and Ubuntu apport. Both have options to see detailed logs and an optional button to send report to developers, along with options to close the popup.
accompanied is a text that reads "Here's the information. What do you wish to do?"

on crying cheems side, there's popup for windows and mac. windows has just a cancel button with report being sent already. mac has ignore and report button. there is no option to see logs without reporting on both. here, accompanied text reads, "let's add this to the personally identifiable information we have on you."

I'm not arguing against Linux. Use whatever you want. It's just stop acting like Linux is GUI friendly when it's extremely dependent on if the dev is competent or not.

Also, whatever OS you use wont save you in data breaches. Just because you use Linux doesn't mean your Ashley Madison affair data is safe.

No one's making accusations here it's just easier to avoided something like a Facebook–Cambridge Analytica data scandal when your os doesn't require an online cloud account to set it up or use advertised features.
