Ubuntu did upload what applications you launched to Amazon.

Link?

There was a connection between the search bar for awhile, if you typed in pants you'd get potential amazon links. It was easy to turn off and disappeared awhile later.

It is exactly that. And you can turn off spying on other OS'es as well, doesn't defeat the point - they all spy.

Linux operating systems don't spy on their users. This is false. Stop repeating misinformation.

The Ubuntu Amazon fiasco is, if anything, evidence of extreme resistance to this kind of thing. The Linux community rejected Canonical's opt-out ad partnership with Amazon collectively and almost unanimously. The program was relatively benign, but it went against ideals of both users and developers, and there have been no repeats.

I did not say "Linux" anywhere. I said Ubuntu.

Did it happen? Yes. And that is enough information.

You said "they all spy", implying generic Linux.

You have been called out for multiple falsehoods in your comments here and you've still failed to provide any evidence.

This is a lie.
