How was this even approved for deployment?
I find it difficult to choose a motherboard because they all look shady. aSUS should be criticized for creating a bad app and installing it without consent but I feel like this could have been any other motherboard manufacture.

Haha, how fortuitous for me that my new SDD arrived over the weekend and I used the opportunity to install Linux on my Asus laptop.
Why???? who thought this was a good idea?!?
Make no mistake, they will backpedal and apologize, but this was a flex. They want the public to know that their machines are fucking pwnt from top to bottom and they shouldn’t try any funny shit.
I got on this on Windows 10 too.
At first I thought I got a virus or something, but then realized this was some ASUS bullshit.
