It's basically adware these days.

Honestly not surprised with it costing like $150 not that long ago. I pretty much consider it a bootloader for anticheat games and not a tool for any real use.

saw it just the other day. But why do they charge 30 euro for free operating system? It is fine if they are adding value, like drivers, etc.But are they?

@jarekrozanski we in the RH desktop team work with them pretty closely, so I know they pay a team of Linux engineers and they really make an effort to support their hardware in Linux well. They also provide quite a lot of hardware to the Fedora Project for testing. IMHO the 30 euros are well deserved.
