Yes, you are correct, maybe I am wrong here... After that experience when I uninstalled a Geforce Experience from my friend's Windows PC, but telemetry "virus" wasn't removed and continued to work until I wiped those nvidia telemetry executable files manually using Ubuntu LiveCD - the remains of my trust to this company has been completely lost. Maybe it is more safe to assume that their telemetry is in all their software, and the best way to avoid it is to stop using NVIDIA products. The source is closed, and we just can't verify with 100% confidence that their latest Linux drivers don't have a telemetry as well, they had plenty of time to build in telemetry into Linux drivers and conceal it -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.
