> But not all manufacturers want that I have a device in our work environment which runs on kernel 2.6.32, last patch 2014. Can't update the machine because they do not update the drivers for that machine's hardware. The "open" (aka diy) driver runs on 4.9 at the latest and won't be updated any further despite the EOL being only this year. It's all about money, they just want you to buy the new hardware and cough up some extra cash for them.
