I am not convinced this will make people switch to Linux btw. That has been said about every new Windows edition. Especially in case of an ad supported free tier (as the article mentions as possibility). Then most consumers will just use that.

100% this. And if you expect people to discover the software they need on their own then you need a superb software discovery experience. AFAIK Ubuntu does not have that at the moment. I read they are working on a better software center but wonder if that will be enough.
That’s too harsh imho (the power corrupts thing). Telemetry can be very useful (see how Mozilla lately solved a bug in Firefox related to a specific version of the Linux kernel) so I’m willing to believe their intentions were right. But I agree it’s not a smart move and better to have made it opt-in taking the target audience of the distro into account.
Came here to ask the same thing. Whatever it is you expect it to be included in the ticket price already when they are this high
Nice to see a good example of telemetry use
Is it still possible to add an extra key (in another slot) to unlock it with cryptsetup? Adding this extra key might beat the purpose of using the TPM but if you choose a long random key and store it in a password manager that should still be pretty safe right?
