To ease any concerns you may have about this, the telemetry proposal that @pinkandwhite linked applies only to the GNOME variant of Fedora (aka “Fedora Workstation”). **It does not apply to the KDE variant of Fedora.** See the following comment by the person who proposed it: [F40 Change Request: Privacy-preserving Telemetry for Fedora Workstation (System-Wide) - #118 by catanzaro - Fedora Discussion](https://discussion.fedoraproject.org/t/f40-change-request-privacy-preserving-telemetry-for-fedora-workstation-system-wide/85320/118)

KDE already has an implementation of telemetry that is **OPT-IN**. That is, it is _disabled by default_. KDE lets you know about the existence of this feature in its welcome wizard that greets you after you boot into the desktop for the first time:

It also lets you modify the setting at any time through its System Settings:
