Most distros let you either opt-in or opt-out of it though. It’s really not as big of a deal as people make it out to be. Besides, the “general” population switching to Linux doesn’t really care about anonymized telemetry.
Discouraging people to not use a certain distro due to its optional and anonymized telemetry, is foolish.
It is indeed a good distro and one of the main distros that brings innovation to the Linux world. If it works for you, then keep using it.

Still collects some user data

Very weird comparison
https://quarto.org is an open-source scientific and technical publishing system. You write markdown text and it converts it to HTML website, PDF article/book, word document and many other formats.
“Using LaTeX” and “programing with LaTeX” are very different things. For most people, LaTeX is a means to an end, for you LaTeX is your whole job. You’re the exception, and exception can not be an example.
I’m still waiting for Quarto and the R ecosystem to better support Typst.
Latexmk has built-in option to watch a Tex file and recompile upon changes.
It got better, that’s what happened. You’re using Firefox ESR, it’s not unsafe.
Mozilla also provides a Deb repo for Debian and its derivatives: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/install-firefox-linux#w_install-firefox-deb-package-for-debian-based-distributions
“you don’t need to use it” ≠ “do not use it”
Bad reading comprehension is bad.
Bruh, where in my comment did I tell people not to use it?
In my experience, if you have the necessary skills to point it at the right direction, you don’t need to use it at the first place
The AI didn’t press the trigger, soldiers did.
