    Lenovo will never get my money after they were caught installing rootkits on their computers. Fuck 'em, I don’t care how cheap they get.

      If you’re looking for ethical hardware manufacturers, there are none. Just do a clean install when you get it, like every other computer.

      I would assume licensing SteamOS legally prevents them from doing something like that, but who knows.

        IIRC Lenovo’s rootkit fuckery was in UEFI and auto-launched even after a fresh Windows install. It was complete bullshit.

            Just as much as mayor OEMs, yes. Even borrowing old licensed designs that are now Open and they still very much improve over them. You can literally find videos of their assembly and design processes.
