They might prepare to run an optional executable "just in case". For international espionage. Even under OpenSUSE there are ways to run executable if BIOS/UEFI is bloated. There is no escape : only light and transparency will make these "tricks" nearly gone. Dsant, from France On 08/13/2015 04:57 PM, Carlos E. R. wrote:

Most Linux os's make modifications to the desktop for their own distribution. Styles and colors mostly. That's what Lenovo is doing. using their rootkit to load their own "look".
