This is something I can’t figure out, because my understanding is that no matter what OS you install, unless you bought your Mac with cash, your serial number and credit card are now connected…and will always be spilling data about you.

Thanks for any advice…I’m wondering if it’s worth it to install a new OS.

    No there is spyware down to the hardware and bios level, but it does limit the data collection. Also if you’re going to switch to GNU+Linux and sill use the same non-free software it wouldn’t really make difference.
