This is not unexpected, and hopefully the entire Venezuelan situation will blow up and create another headache for the Orange Men and his entourage. Then they can play „Y.M.C.A.“ for him again.

One are paid to do the job …

I suggest you better stay then with Microsoft or Apple. Suits more your ideology.

But you‘re an Arch derivative user

Wrong, but keep guessing.

Suffice it to say that Ubuntu / RedHat / etc …

Oh, I see, you like being hold by your hands 😂🤣

With a dedicated security team

Where is the difference between „dedicated“ and „commitment paired with skills“???

Being a „rolling release“ has absolutely nothing to do with it.

Sure, Debian and alike are up-to-date as are ArchLinux or Void. Oh, boy!

Any friends in other countries, who may bring you the laptop?

In death we are all the same.

Gentoo and Guix moved their projects to Codeberg. The programming language Zig did it as well. I have heard from few others, which moved to Gitea (Fedora).

This is also a reason why some are against RedHat distributions (eg Fedora) or products (systemd, pulse audio). If you don’t like to support the company and have an alternative, take the alternative.

Well, Void is not that large, but they quickly patch security issues, especially due to being a rolling release. OpenBSD, not Linux or rolling release though, is not a huge OS either, but they are patching - if there is a security issue - quickly. Similarly Slackware - if we want to come back again to a Linux distro.

In other words: No, the size of its dev team does not necessarily mean that they are behind with patching security issues. it depends on the commitment and skills of devs, and the community.

Have you considered other sellers? Slimbook? System76? Framework? Etc.

True. And although some studies reported a positive effect on companies, I have my doubts based on what I have seen with my eyes in my city. A study issues further concerns:

Your local or regional provider can and will send you books in the same time - perhaps not in 24h, but this may be rarely the case that somebody is in a such dearly need of a book.

I am buying books from my local provider, though more expensive, but I want people to have jobs - considering how many bookstores closed due to Amazon - and the possibility to go there, have a book in my hand and read it a bit.

I have no troubles. Perhaps check your WiFi.
