True but the older your hardware is the less you encounter it… so I guess the best use for it is giving life to old hardware.

- xslvrxslwt 3y agoI'm sorry but this is all but true. I've a 13700K and a 4090 and it's more reliable than 2 of my old hardware machines..this is slowly becoming a myth unfortunately as new versions of either DEs or desktop protocol (s) are slowly deprecating tons of stuff..
- emodendroket 3y agoI’ve had good luck with Xubuntu on a couple older machines so far but I’m not trying to run it on anything modern. My experience trying to do desktop Linux on a recent machine is quite old so maybe things are different.
- Sohcahtoa82 3y agoI would imagine this is only true to a certain point. Like, I would not be surprised if there were issues trying to run an AGP or PCI video card. There's probably a sweet spot where some hardware is old enough to have had all the major bugs worked out, but not so old that nobody bothers developing and testing it anymore.
