Whenever I get the same device from AliExpress and the local white label importers, even though the outside casing is identical, AliExpress option has always had more quality. Locally sold ones has always the crappier internals albeit they come in a box (versus AE ones come in a bag)

You must accept the cold hard truth that you can't get rid of freedesktop.org unless you move to MacOS os Windows. Even *bsd s are infected with it the moment you want to do anything desktop-y with them.

because H265 predates AV1 by 5 years. H265’s contemporary was VP9, which was honestly worse than H264 done with a good encoder like x264.

You go to an older version that only got security updates so you will lack optimizations and features already in the current stable windows 10.

That's some very confident sounding bullshit.

Latest LTSC is 21H2, which exactly the same build as the (non-LTSC) 22H2. The only difference is the feature enablement package. Which means you aren't lacking any optimizations.

I'm not even sure if it's missing any "features", but even if it does, I'm 101% sure it some BS "feature".

in practice they increasingly look like a legal and financial gamble

As opposed to what, like HEVC? Where you need to pay 3 different patent pools to be sure (which all has different terms), then there's still other patent holders that aren't in any pools and come and hit you with loyalty requests any time under terms however they like to?
