Didn't Canonical install spyware into Ubuntu? Seems like it's becoming another Windows.

I sincerely doubt any such claims. Keep in mind, Deepin Linux was actually injecting Chinese spyware and they got caught and rectified everything. I doubt if a company like Canonical would choose to die on this hill (given they are pretty nice in general).

The spyware in question was for Amazon, they tried to monetize the OS by providing search queries for the giant.

I see. I usually get rid of that crap once I install it. Thanks for the info :)
