Me neither. Asus aren't the only hardware vendor not to spend money 
supporting a minority software product, which is what linux is - and 
Asus are low cost, low profit margin producers, so it's hardly 
surprising they're unwilling to spend what little profit margin they 
have on supporting it.

Now, if they were actively working against Linux, and I'm open to 
evidence that supports that, I'd be upset too - but that would be an 
outstandingly bad marketing decision and I think unlikely.

What it looks like from here is that somebody's got the hump with them 
and is spreading rumours.
