> They should be sentenced to a 15+ year old computer
I bought my computer about 15 years ago, with what at the time was a pretty beefy setup. I still use it for my everyday work because, as it turns out, you don't need much more than 4Gb of RAM to surf the internet.
Due to buggy UEFI support, I cannot reinstall Windows 10 on that PC. If Linux stopped supporting Bios, I'd have to throw it away. But more importantly, this computer has better performance than the computers of many of my relatives in South America.
I wish every developer in the first world had to explain at least once to their nieces that no, Roblox will not work on their Chinese Android tablet with 1Gb of RAM.

If Arch Linux decided not to support BIOS, we'd say, "Well they are a bleeding edge distro", but guess what, "Shhhh... so is Fedora." Old hardware is great. Expecting people to support it forever for free is folly. This is exactly why people pay IBM/RedHat for support.
