I know many people here love Manjaro.
The Manjaro Linux team has begun testing the MDD (Manjaro Data Donor) service to collect user data and send it to an external project server.
Initially, this feature was planned to be enabled by default, but this decision was opposed by other project maintainers. According to current information, telemetry will appear as an option that requires user consent at the first OS startup.
Telemetry will collect the hostname, kernel version, versions of desktop components, detailed hardware information and drivers used, screen size and resolution, MAC addresses of network devices, disk serial numbers, disk partition data, information on the number of running processes and installed packages, versions of basic packages such as systemd, gcc, bash and PipeWire.
The MDD solution is written in Python and calls the inxi utility with the "-Fxxx" parameters to get a full report with system information. For customer security, user IP addresses are not stored in the statistics collection, and a hash of the contents of the /etc/machine-id file is used as the identifier for each system.
