I have a C240 which works fine with Debian, but can't find Logitech C92?-? for 
love nor money. I fear covid-19 has cleared out the reputable discounted 
webcam suppliers.

At this point grab what you can find and try it, unless there is no rush, then 
wait a few months and buy from the the cheap secondhand market that will no 
doubt spring up as soon as the restrictions are lifted.

The pricing is such that you are paying over list for these on EBay now.

Kai was posting videos on how to use mobile phones as webcams over WiFi with 
Arch Linux the other day, and if he can't get them in Singapore.
