I think you missed the point there. This is not about providing something free for free, it’s not about value. It’s all about promotion! Storage manufacturers have been loading their media up with all kinds of nonsense since the dawn of time.

Remember those proprietary bloatware tools that try to pass as “important drivers” for USB stuff on Windows? Yeah, they’re not technically needed. Instead, their only purpose in life is to keep reminding the user about the brand.

So, depending on whether you love or hate Linux, this is either a pretty sweet promo or another bunch of useless demo apps that you have to get rid off every time you purchase a storage medium.
