I have to ask, when was the last time you even looked at a screenshot of Ubuntu? That script is from the Unity era. The first lines remove a shopping lense. Not a thing since 2016. And even if it was still somehow valid which it’s not, it’s mostly hardening the OS. Yes, stock Ubuntu is not an impenetrable fortress. No distro is.
Don’t worry, no matter how much you explain it Reddit and Lemmy will still act like Ubuntu is the devil and worse than Windows 11.
It’s by far the most commonly used distro, specially for beginners, which means Lemmy must hate it to protect their delusion that using Linux makes them special or superior or intellectuals, when in reality.
And I say all that as an Arch user, btw, who doesn’t like how Ubuntu’s packages are maintaned and shared.
sadly its more than that friend: https://github.com/gp187/Ubuntu-Privacy-Fix/blob/master/ubuntu_secure.sh
encourage canonical to do better ; we deserve it.

Also the stupid script removes a local logging service which is not used anymore either, but here’s a thread about it https://askubuntu.com/questions/180990/what-is-zeitgeist-used-for
ok but all the other telemetry in the script is still there
