Born and lived there till a few years ago, I always heard of this and never happened, they even worked on a Linux distro since 2009 https://www.nova.cu/. Most good Linux devs i knew left the island and new ones will do too, people graduate and just moonlight in jobs in order to get internet to freelance on Upwork and make some cash to survive or leave the country so this will never happen until they allow private IT people to do it and pay competitive rates.They use Linux on servers in most of the companies and run Postfix/Dovecot for email and Squid cache which the govt and communist party will come and request logs and email comms, not fun had to wipe logs for a friend sending a bad joke to her husband about how the situation was in the island. Communists came threatening that she was collaborating with outside people and her logs were under investigation for months.
