Lacklustre hardware, poor Linux support, and anti-consumer business practices.

These are the things that Asus are all about and it’s why I dismiss their product.

As for the "poor Linux support" - that's exactly what people are talking about reversing. If it officially supported SteamOS and had up-streamed drivers in the kernel, it wouldn't have poor Linux support.

As for the other stuff, sure, perhaps you're right. But nobody is saying you have to buy it. It's still a benefit to you as a SD user to have more people using SteamOS.
