The settings on KDE show this info about my computer after buying a used motherboard. Apparently it came from a prebuilt, though it is a standard ASUS board. Where does this branding come from and is it possible to remove it?

The branding also shows in inxi:

    From the system’s DMI. You can check it yourself with dmidecode. Those values are largely unchangeable, and those that are, will probably require a tool from the vendor to change, which are usually for internal use only within their company.
