IMO, the best one can practically do is to just buy used.

It's not 0 support, but it's a lot less than buying new.

Used hardware usually has better support in Linux anyway.

I think the point is they haven't purchased a new one in 10 years. Therefore, no more purchase from China.

I mean Xi has been president for the last 10 years, so even that Dell would have supported ol' Winnie.

For someone with such a strong anti-china stance (enough to create a throwaway), I'd expect full devotion to the cause.

I think you're letting perfect be the enemy of good.

Laptop was purchased before XI became president.

Agree we can't avoid completely but still doing something is better than nothing.
