So I saw on this post the upsetting information that fedora is blocked on cuba, and I Wanted to check if the same was true of the downstream distributions, in particular open SUSE tumbleweed, as well.
Edit: By what it seems they put it there more as a way to reduce liability(once the us trade embargoes seem to include most anything with US developed technology, although I do not understand that very well or if it does apply to open source stuff), in case the US comes a looking, because it does not describe any tools or measures to prevent it, in fact it even states that it is not geoblocked anywhere.
Strange, I haven’t experienced any conflicts of AUR vs native repos, but I do experience conflicts of native vs external repositories in openSUSE Tumbleweed all the time.
(I’m not judging your choice, just saying my experience is different.)
On topic, I kind of wonder why would SUSE be blocked in Cuba. It’s not an American company, after all.
The commercial blockade of US states that any product with even a small percentage (there is a minimal required number which I don’t remember) of anything produced in the US, even if that thing is the technology for building the thing, cannot be traded with Cuba or DRPK and I’m not sure if the Venezuelans one is still up
On the subject of arch and AUR I managed to get into dependency hell a couple times because of AUR packages and my own inexperience
