My last 3 laptops were Asus, HP and Acer, none of them had that UEFI crap.

My last 3 desktops were the ones I assembled myself from components, desktop motherboard manufacturers don't do that.

I think your example is a rare exception, not a rule.

Desktop motherboard manufacturers definitely do it, and they have FAQs of how to disable it: https://www.asus.com/support/FAQ/1043788/

Very interesting. I guess I was lucky with Gigabyte last time.

Does anyone maintain a list of crapware-infested motherboards customers should avoid?
