Well, if we approach it formally, they do not claim that they do not support Linux on any of their laptops. Rather, they do not support it on all. Anyways, this is a strange point for them to make. Do they really believe in Windows' superiority that much?

Здравствуйте!
Спасибо за обращение в службу технической поддержки ASUS.
Мы не поддерживаем установку Linux на всех наших ноутбуках - такова корпоративная политика.
Поэтому, боюсь, мы Вам не сможем помочь.

ASUS, Служба технической поддержки

So, I am afraid that we will not be able to help you.
Regards,
ASUS technical support

It doesn't do any good to ask them to cut their nose off to spite their face.

System76 knows the problem, hasn't done anything about it

Doing More For An Open NVIDIA
Phoronix: Doing More For An Open NVIDIA
Following the open letter to NVIDIA at OpenTheBlob.com that takes aim at NVIDIA's lack of a reliable open-source driver, now out is a letter geared for NVIDIA's board partners (ASUS, Dell, BFG Tech, etc). This happens to be based off of a strategy I discussed before for frustrated ATI customers prior to the new driver code-base...
