Just because the OS is still supported it doesn't mean your software or new hardware you want is. I've been using RHEL or CentOS at my job on workstations for 10+ years. During that entire time it's been a struggle to get a "modern" browser working for longer than 6mo to a year (it was even harder when Flash was in the picture). I don't think I'd even bother trying to install it on a brand new laptop. We are usually in the middle of update cycles for CentOS. Being an individual will probably make it easier upgrade more frequently. We're currently half 6.7 and half 7.2. We're only now looking to make our second serious push and take everything to 7.4.
