It's not just those files in Windows 11's case, it's things like shortcuts you have on your desktop, clicked links, and a bunch of other things which all get defaulted to Edge and you have to go in and change all of them.
We need more of this:
Image context for anyone unaware: This is the "James Connolly House" in Ireland. It was taken over by socialist housing activists and used to house homeless people for zero cost until 100+ police raided the building and made a couple arrests.
Maybe "isn't related to MIPS" was a bad way to word it, woops. I meant it as in it's their own ISA that doesn't require a license from MIPS Technologies/Imagination/whoever owns the rights to MIPS these days, wasn't denouncing it's similarities to MIPS. Even the Loongson kernel developers themselves said "LoongArch is a new RISC ISA, which is a bit like MIPS or RISC-V". Sorry for the confusion to anyone who made have read my earlier post!

LoongArch is their domestic RISC ISA that isn't related to MIPS, which is what the chips in this post are. They're actually pretty solid and compare performance wise with relatively modern low-spec x86 equivalents from Intel & AMD (you can see some basic benchmarks towards the end of the YouTube video I linked below).

If you're not on a Debian or Red Hat based distribution, you're most likely fine because of some precondition checks in the malicious build script:
if test -f "$srcdir/debian/rules" || test "x$RPM_ARCH" = "xx86_64"; then
I'd still recommend you update either way, Arch Linux and Gentoo patched/masked their packages as well even though they were essentially unaffected for various reasons. The original maintainer also made an acknowledgement on the project's official website with some additional information as well.
LoongArch is awesome and the people I've chatted with who work on various things related to it have been awesome and very helpful. I hope one day I can get my hands on a LoongArch laptop even though I unfortunately live in the states.
I wouldn't doubt it one bit, we'll probably read declassified documents about it in 60 years or something.
The more likely explanation is that their very powerful world wide surveillance system tipped them off
