About collecting data etc.

It seems to me that this OS is going to be open source.
If that is the case, then surely it will be possible to then find out what kind of tracking there will be.
Apart from that: As it is now, when we are using Windows, we are spyed upon by various entities without our knowledge ever so often.
Being as this OS is going to be based on Linux, it should also be possible to use another browser such as Firefox or Opera, if we do not trust Googles browser.
