Reality doesn’t matter.

Depends how old. I have a Phenom system with an iGPU and an audio chip that went unsupported fow a few years. Then after a few cycles of updates, it became supported again.
Same with the GPU of an old laptop with an Optimus system. At some point nothing would be working correctly but then new nouveau (huh) modules got out and this old hardware could suddenly work much better than before.
Apparently I have a lot of hardware that goes through a phase of being unsupported in Linux for a while, to working better than ever before.
Just use Slackware then.
EDIT: Just pointing out this is distro specific and not Linux specific.
In French, il has always looked a bit weird when typed at the beginning of a sentence.
Il y a un I suivi d’un l.
That definition made me think of samaras floating in the wind.
Ugh. That reminds me of the Microsoft admin fanboys where I worked, dissing Linux because its all command lines, while saying that MS inventing PowerShell was a stroke of genius making their lives easier.
I’m always a bit amazed of how things have progressed and on what Linux can still run.
This is an extreme example, but it’s also possible to run a modern Linux OS on SBCs like a Raspberry Pi Zero, and still have something somewhat usable depending on your needs.
To have a computer half the size of a credit card with more RAM than my full tower rig from 2001 is amazing. And it can even run software from that era with dosbox or wine.
My 15 years old laptop is still supported and can still read 1080p on YouTube, using Linux.
Linux devs just recently decided to drop support for 486 CPUs and some early Pentiums.
There’s just no competition.
The article doesn’t mention any “miles per hour”. Do people in Australia use mph?
