i am happy that linux lite does not use this spyware, but am also curious if their is anything else someone might know about (not including swap file) that is basically logging every move and sending to third parties or something. i'm not a fan of facebook or google because i want the ability to choose if i'm part of some experiement of if my os is making money off my interest instead of charging me for their hard work. this being my first and favorite distrobution i want to put my trust into it, and finding a new hobby is not really an option so i have no choice but to trust someone, i like computers too much. 
i remember when i was a kid trying redhat but ran into issues when i had a "win modem" and held a grudge against windows ever since. i could not wait to leave them but xp just worked and i learned a lot of tweeks. but now i worry that free open source people need funds somehow and that website i mention made me wonder if closed source is better for personal privacy due to it not being free so third parties are left out. i know thats going in a circle and i understand what you said. but if you or anyone knows of any other logging that may be being used or stored, even the terminal seems to log the last bunch of actions, i am curious where this file is kept if not the swap. it took me a long time to tweek winodws, linux might take even longer so just putting it out there.
ps linux lite is currently my favorite operating system i ever used, so wanting to know more about it is not meant as an attack on it, it's a unbeliable operating system and i give much thanks to all the creators.
