I think Steve makes a great case against Asus in the ROG vs ROC debate. In fact, it raises the question of who is stealing from who here. Clearly Asus took the ROG name from roc. They had to have started with the ROG acronym and went backwards because, let's be real, who would have thought "Republic of Gamers" was a good name if they weren't forced into using that acronym from the beginning? The ROC branding is clearly a reference to the same bird, just taken more literally.

The Win11 ads has me looking at good Linux distros now. I didn't buy a (discounted) $200 license so i can look at ads.
