Nah, we will never have a GOOD Linux-phone. And if, it’s most likely NOT without tracking and whatnot. Why should any company put money into a thing they can’t control after sale? Sadly so, i might add.
Comment on POV) You use Windows 11 and set up Pihole for the first time.

You mean like the Linux kernel?

You understand that it’s not just about the software, right? Don’t you think there’s a reason there still isn’t any?

Canonical Ubuntu does or at least did though. Caused a shitstorm years ago despite it being opt-in back then. I don't know how they do it nowadays.
KDE also has has opt-in usage tracking but I trust that project enough to believe it's really only for improving the software.

I think most software like this grows to a certain size and then they need the telemetry to identify issues. There's so many hardware configurations and most people don't submit bug reports or opt into their configuration being shared.

Windows telemetry started with Windows 10. Windows 7 was the most stable Windows ever and hardware configurations were just as plentiful. Sure, the data helps but it's hardly mandatory.
