No telemetry gets collected unless you explicitly give permission (and they don’t nag or try to trick you into giving it). Overall, KDE is incredibly good for privacy
@ProtonBadger @SubArcticTundra technically windows hasn’t had much of it’s ui ideas change since 95 (8, 8.1 and 11 were major departures and part of the reason their so disliked).
I would say it’s probably more kde copying aspects from windows then sorta going their own path with those ideas.
