Do you trust a closed-source OS that gathers data about you?

Windows 10 collects certain information about the user. It is closed source, so you have to take Microsoft's word about what and how much they collect. Still, are you comfortamble enough using that software?

I use Windows 10 for development work, behind a very restrictive firewall, otherwise Linux all the way I am working on using linux to create crossplatform apps like flutter

Nope, that's why no Windows nor Android for me. MacOS is not perfect either but it's the lesser evil.
