I have to use ubuntu, and it is getting creepy too.

just off the top of my head:

- whoopsie - uploads crashes to canonical

- motd - telemetry and nags

- forced automatic updates

- snaps and other features lots of people don't want, but can't be disabled

- removing the ubuntu-advantage package disables most of the OS

etc..

Do not use Ubuntu. It is becoming nearly unusable due to this stuff. Fedora or Debian or whatever else.
