People seem to feel okay with it given they use Linux and thus everything is nominally open source.

ThinkPads are still the name of the game for enterprise laptop deployments. AFAIK, they don't contain any preloaded stuff beyond the OEM app (Lenovo Vantage). Some enterprises prefer the more stripped down Lenovo System Update instead, although I think users may need Vantage to change some hotkey, etc. settings.
Still, for a business with stricter security standards, it would be ideal to do a clean reimage of all new laptops regardless of vendor, and specifically add only the necessary drivers, etc.

For the past 20 years, only ThinkPads. I directly replace the main drive and install Linux on it.

At my workplace we use all Dell, including the laptops, and I've been mostly happy with them.

I've never found a laptop I liked more than a ThinkPad. I haven't used anything but Linux in over 20 years though.

#8You can use adb to remove this kind of crap without having to root the device, can't you?

#9Same with my samsung tablet forcing itself to update. "You can dismiss this 1 more time" - why? It's my device I paid for it. It's very tiresome. What device can I buy that's just mine to do as I please.
On desktop I'm already on Linux Mint. Looking for alts for phone and tablet.
