> Literal years. Unless you're using hardware vendors that are hostile to FOSS. Except new GPU hardware at reasonable prices has been unobtainable for 2 years now, and AMD's new Linux friendly stance was only a couple of years before that. So there's like a 2-3 year window where you could have said "Well, you should have known to buy the FOSS friendly hardware". (Which came with other tradeoffs, AMD had uncompetitive hardware and poor GPGPU support in that time period)
