✨ UBUNTU-INSIGHTS(1) ✨

okay bestie, welcome to the ubuntu-insights manual page πŸ’– this is the Ubuntu-insights girlie and she's about to tell you everything, fr fr.


🌸 NAME 🌸

ubuntu-insights β€” a transparent tool to collect and share anonymous insights about your system πŸ¦‹


πŸŽ€ SYNOPSIS πŸŽ€

ubuntu-insights [flags]

πŸ’… DESCRIPTION πŸ’…

so. ubuntu-insights is a transparent tool to collect and share anonymous insights about your system. that's the whole vibe, that's the assignment. ✨

IF consent is given β€” and like, only if, consent is the whole main character here πŸ‘‘ β€” this tool collects non-personally identifying hardware, software, and platform information, and shares it with the Ubuntu Development team. the info it collects can't be used to identify a single machine. not a one. no cap. πŸ™…β€β™€οΈ

and the best part?? all reports are cached on the local machine and can be reviewed before and after uploading. so you're never out here sending things into the void blind. you get to peek. you get to check. iconic behavior honestly. πŸ”₯
