I’m curious, would Apple know if you are building on Linux on a Mac, or building on Linux on PC?

  I would be surprised if they didn't. It is trivial to detect this.

    How would they detect it? If the interface with Apple is simply an API to fetch and upload data. How would they know if the underlying physical machine is an Apple built computer running Linux, or a dell built computer running Linux?

      What possible reason do you have to assume it fetches only this data? Apple is absolutely slurping up any and all data they can get about your machine, you, whatever is visible on the network, nearby WiFi networks and your physical location. They have no reason whatsoever to not do this, they explicitly do this on iOS, and there is a lot of money for them to sell the data they collect about you. This is how modern corporations are. Apple is no different from Google, Facebook, Microsoft, et al.

        I have not seen any evidence that would lead to a conclusion one way or another.
