Holy shit. I got Logitech peripherals, and an ASUS motherboard. I'm glad I'm on Linux. I still have Windows installed, and booted into it around 2 weeks ago, after it having lied dormant for four months. I didn't notice anything being installed, but maybe I had to reboot first.
Quite possibly, my peripherals and motherboard are all too old to have this anti-feature. Do you know if there is a list of which of their hardware this is the case for?
Damnit, I always preferred Logitech mice. I guess I might have bought my last one.
