I miss the days when Linux was always distributed via torrent. This may be a blessing in disguise though, because the Cubans will get to use a nicer distro.
Yeah, and it gives a lot of local incentive to developing their own FOSS solutions (or learning how to pirate). It has become the norm in Brazil to replace older and more reliable linux distros in government machines for Windows, to the point where we went from having a bunch of specifically Brazilian distributions for many specific purposes to being reduced to using debian or ubuntu. Relying on foreign software can be really harmful to your sovereignty but also create a dependent IT workforce who don’t know their own national tech.
Debian waits for all of you, Fedora comrades
Nah I don’t want to use a distro that’s permanently outdated lol
I use Arch btw
Debian Unstable

Where I completely disagree with disallowing people in Cuba from using a distro… I’d wager at least some of it has to do with redhat being a business that makes money and that is at odds with the horseshit blockade and sanctions. And by that logic I wouldn’t be surprised to see something similar from canonical, especially support related as that’s something you can purchase if I’m remembering correctly.
That’s my thoughts without knowing the specifics so I’m quite literally talking out of my ass and spitballing.
Mint doesn’t do this shit, right?

Nothing I could find, plus they are based in Ireland, so maybe not?
I haven’t found anything for Ubuntu/Canonical (based in London, UK) yet, but apparently SUSE (based in Germany) does the same as Fedora/Red Hat (based in US):

There’s an apocryphal story about the Chevy Nova not selling well in Spanish-speaking countries. I’m surprised it hasn’t been updated for Nova.
