Forgot to mention, that I also oppose the concept of using some old laptops forever, just because you can.
I think, it is perfectly valid & should be encouraged(!) to drop support for devices which are at least as big as laptops & yet have clearly less power than a small Raspberry Pi.
Running such obsolete devices is not only a chore & sometimes a safety hazard, but also a waste of energy. We shouldn't waste the amount of energy a very old PC device needs, just to get an old single-core & 1GB RAM performance. Doing this is insane, except you live in a cave & have no other option to do that.
If that were the case though, you probably wouldn't have any internet & power access, whatsoever, anyway.
The guy points out the list of laptops, which lose support on those changes, as if it were a big deal.
No, not supporting some 20 year old laptop is not a big deal. Should be normal.
I'm not saying, Free Software should pull a Windows/Apple & just support the PCs from the past 2 two years.
I'm saying, if you can get a Raspberry Pi for 50 bucks, which is much better than your laptop & uses less energy, then stop demanding support for your obsolete device.
