Lenovo or ASUS? Trying to figure out which laptop to go with.

Which company has a better reputation (in quality, privacy...), or are they both bad?

EDIT: I have come to the conclusion that both Lenovo and ASUS are extremely terrible, anyone who sees this post should go straight to framework laptop

I guess don't buy a laptop then 🥲

This doesn't seem like a deal breaker though, they are simply supporting another open source project they want to use, that's all I'm reading from the post.

Up to each one to decide, really. Fw had really interesting products and seem to treat Linux as a first class citizen.

The CEOs non-answer and amazingly loud continuing support to a pointless script by a known problem developer is weird and unfortunate. Monetarily small, but visually loud, as these things tend to be.
