I waddled onto the beach and stole found a computer to use.

  • Yup, this is the one I’ve been seeing in a lot of guides. I’m not sure how it compares to the other ones, but it was easy enough when I tried it.

    The process for a clean install would be something like:

    1. select the region and keyboard but do not connect to wifi, instead hit shift + F10 and run start ms-cxh:localonly to have a local only account
    2. Once the desktop loads, connect to the Internet and (assuming the recent Windows update didn’t break everything again) run updates through the UI
    3. Run Win11Debloat to remove/disable junk and to make common adjustments
    4. Run appwiz.cpl for anything that was missed

    Bonus

    • Winget for apps (or UniGetUI if you prefer a GUI)
    • WinHawk and PowerToys for quality of life improvements

    You can try Chocolatey too, but I gave up on it recently because of constant errors and questionable community packages









  • Relevant bit

    The DMCA filing states that several files in the Rockchip MPP repository are derived from FFmpeg’s libavcodec sources. It lists AV1, H.265, and VP9 decoder files, and claims the copied code is clear because of matching structure, comments, and commented-out calls to FFmpeg functions with their original names.

    Much of FFmpeg, including libavcodec, uses the GNU Lesser General Public License version 2.1. This license allows reuse, but only if certain rules are followed. These rules include keeping copyright notices, giving proper credit, and ensuring any shared code remains under an LGPL-compatible license.

    The DMCA notice says Rockchip broke these rules by removing the original copyright and author details, claiming the copied code as their own, and sharing it under the Apache license, which does not meet LGPL requirements here.
