Many projects ask to share lots of logs when reporting issues. It’s difficult to go through all the logs and redact informarion such as usernames, environment variabled etc.
Any ideas on how to anonymize logs before sharing? Change your username to something generic?
Sure that reveals your distro, but also consider what is in the logs you’re sharing. If you’re asking for help you probably also already said that you’re running Debian. Or the logs are full of apt logs already, querying a well known Debian mirror.
You’re right that PC is a fine default, but think about the whole picture as well.
The distro is not regarding logs but local network, public wifis, etc. Data minimization.
For logs of course you can tell them what you are running.
