Well, this is exactly what I would expect if I left any &quot;Give me something random, I don&#x27;t want to think too much&quot; option activated. These are the first things I disable on any OS.<p>With that said, I recently switched my home PC to Linux. It was not due to the privacy issues, rather buggy experience (probably due to older hardware). Overall happy, although the UX in KDE 4 and Gnome 3.1x is still lagging behind Windows&#x2F;OS X noticeably IMHO.
