From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Optional crash reporting was merged. Most of the backlash in the PR is about the significant dependencies (Google's BreakPad) which were pulled in with it.

However, by default Audacity isn't built with it, you need to specify a CMake with the URL to send data to. No distros that I know of enable reporting.

Ahhh I see. At least from Wikipedia, it looks like the auto-opt-in telemetry was dropped, which is good.

Wierd that it's owned by Muse group now, but glad it's alive and well.
