Zorin Privacy Concerns Addressed

Zorin reached out with the few privacy concerns in my latest video and so I wanted to talk about what we have been talking about.
#Linux #Zorin #Privacy

Bottom Line: They collect a unique identifier that you can find here:
/var/lib/zorin-os-census/uuid

It is different than the tag that is used by other telemetry services here:
/etc/machine-id

To completely remove Zorin from checking home, run this command in the terminal:

sudo apt remove zorin-os-census
