...or you can go the other route and make a very deliberate decision that there is one specific piece of hardware that you're going to support and not be sidetracked into developing drivers for a huge array of hardware. For example, I bought a used Sony Xperia X that was several years out of date when Sailfish OS was released. I also bought a half-decade old Think Pad because it was one of the few machines that LibreBoot supports. I actually care way more about software than about having the latest hardware or the broadest array of hardware options to choose from.
