To be fair, I recently had to switch distros for my little Atom-based server because of a similar deal:

Granted, I only had to convert to Tumbleweed (not trivial, but easier than reinstalling), and the open source nature means there will always be lots of other alternatives, too.
- sedatk 8mo agoHow old is the Atom? My CPU was about 10 years old at the time.
- Snild 8mo agoI bought it in late 2013, so 12 years from purchase. Intel lists the launch date of the CPU (Atom D2500) as Q3'11, making it 14 years old when OpenSUSE Leap 16 was released. It looks like Intel was releasing Atom CPUs without SSE4.1/4.2 up until 2013, e.g. Atom Z2420.
