Interesting stuff. I don't know much about all this, so you could certainly educate me. You talk about Linux as being non-intrusive. I assume that other OS are intrusive. Could you give concrete examples of what that intrusion looks like?
And please, speak to me as if you were talking to a small child. Not sure I could handle a lot of technical terms on this subject :D
Sure! by invasive I mean that the OS having access to contacts, calendar, mail, location and such, not only for the OS company itself but for third parties. In this article is explained how it works, for example, in Windows 10. I'm not sure how does it work in Apple, they had some troubble with the FBI after denying to set a backdoor or to bypass some of their devices, but the thing is that we cannot be sure how does the OS work on behind. The good thing about linux is that it's possible to see what's actually happen on the OS and with your data, if you know how to read it. If I must point to a very secure OS I would suggest TAILS, it's based in debian (which is already very stable and secure), its internet communication relies on TOR (ip is hidden even in not-browser internet usage), it's portable (in a pendrive) and it's amnesic, which makes it invisible for the hardware we are using after we take it away form the pc. But even if we don't go that further, I'm speaking about respecting a logical amount of privacy.
“We will access, disclose and preserve personal data, including your content (such as the content of your emails, other private communications or files in private folders), when we have a good faith belief that doing so is necessary to.”
That's Windows stuff. Makes me think of: Everyone is guilty until proven innocent. To that end, we'll need to know everything about everybody...
Mhmmm... I might change a few things I use then.

We're a place where coders share, stay up-to-date and grow their careers.

I read the article you linked to and read this:
