Linux users are more likely not to opt-in and actively opt-out of spyware, telemetry, or whatever you want to call it.

The ones that don't are more likely those who leave things on defaults, are involved with the project or a distro, or similar. No, I don't have anything that backs this up. The statistics they're using can never be accurate, by virtue of being free software that ships on privacy concious distros to privacy cincious people. There was a study that backs up this claim, but I'm not google.

OTOH, xfce is doing fine.

Linux are also more likely to contribute bug reports and crash dumps.

Security conscious doesn't mean not getting involved with the community and helping useful projects.

Linux users contribute bug reports to projects that actually care about them and don't leave usability regressions open to decade long bikesheds. KDE is not one of those projects.

[akimbostrawman]

Since KDE telemetry is privacy conscious too, I as a privacy conscious linux user see little issue with enabling it.
