“I saw that you spun up an Ubuntu image in Azure”
For people who use docker at work, avoiding it is simply not possible. Our stack revolves around images (not necessarily docker), so *bsds are dead in the water for me.
Additionally, orchestrating is simplified with docker-compose vs managing many jails. I used to manage freebsd jails via cli in FreeNAS, but orchestration with docker-compose is much easier and trackable in git. Transferring between machines is as easy as setting up docker, git cloning, and setting secrets. [0] Podman solves some issue docker has, but using stuff like S6 [1] in containers helps a ton.
Don't get me wrong- OpenBSD and FreeBSD are amazing distros. OpenBSD has the best user experience in my opinion, which is why I use it for my router. But they suck for modern gaming and stuff like docker.

None of these services are useful apparently, because I manage them myself instead of relying on something like sandstorm/freedombox.

Fedora for the first time questions
As far as I can tell, Snaps themselves do not send telemetry to Canonical. It just auto-updates your Snap packages. Ubuntu overall does send telemetry, but it can be entirely turned off. If you do leave it on, Ubuntu only sends basic information like what version of Ubuntu you installed, what your specs are, what timezone you picked, etc. Again, this can be entirely disabled. And their telemetry tool is completely open source. As for proprietary drivers, you can choose to simply not install them. The option isn't even enabled by default in the Ubuntu installer.

Linux distribution with gaming performance and privacy
I remember Ubuntu having some sort of deal with Amazon, deal that fell around 2015, so that's no longer an issue. They also have an option at installation time to turn on some data gathering and they will also show you what exactly is collected. The tool itself can be examined here: https://github.com/ubuntu/ubuntu-report I took a look and there is not much that I care about, personally. In any case, you can decline. What exactly have you heard?

“I saw that you spun up an Ubuntu image in Azure”
It's trivial to disable any telemetry considering it's open source:

Is Ubuntu spying on me?
It's opt-in during install. It's basically generic system information and info about the install process. The source code is here: https://github.com/ubuntu/ubuntu-report you can download that repo and explore/grep around in it to see exactly what they collect.
