The first thing I did when I got my ASUS UX303UA was re-partition and install Arch Linux. Works flawlessly and I avoid issues with this sort of half baked bloatware. I haven't done any BIOS updates because ASUS doesn't publish detailed changelogs and I don't know if they are required or might cause problems. Excellent hardware company that probably should just stick to hardware.
Just an aside, but I have been out of the loop for awhile with Windows but I couldn't believe how ugly Windows 10 looked when I booted it. I currently float between Mac, ChromeOS and Gnome and my favourite at the moment is still the material design look. Windows seems to be getting uglier. It is a shame because, although different, I am not sure it is functionally all that much worse these days.
