Backdoors in the OS or firmware?
I always use Linux, so I don't care what software it came with. If you're suggesting there are firmware backdoors, I'd like to see your evidence.
There have been known vulnerabilities in ASUS firmware, but I was referring to Armoury Crate which is forcefully pushed on Windows users.

I think this is a really bad epistemological stance in this case.
A vulnerability (that is presumably fixed after) is a lot different than an intentional backdoor.

Why? If one can't point to any evidence, how is it reasonable to suggest that a manufacturer is adding backdoors?
