If you need to buy new hardware to run Blender,
1) You probably need just a budget but contemporary graphics card, under $100, to improve your computer from implausibly old (and therefore unsupported) to very cheap (but good enough for Blender), raising the question of what light computer usage has allowed you to postpone this and other upgrades for years.
2) You want to use vintage equipment lying around, not a "normal" computer, raising the question of whether you are interested in practical use or in attempting stunts.
- verytrivial 7y agoStunts? A curiously personal attack. I was merely saying that this was the first time Blender did not run on any of the machines I happened to have lying around as it so admirably has done for years. I was not saying the change in requirements was wrong. And I will of course continue using 2.79 until the smoke comes out of my computer. I don't make a habit of throwing away otherwise functional computers, and if I was a dedicated enthusiast instead of a dabbler, yes I'd have sent dozens of computers and GPUs to landfill by now. To each their own.
