    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.
