    This is like people complaining about how Ubuntu 16.04 LTS support ended not long ago (2021-04-29)

    Or macOS 10.9 Mavericks (2016-12-01)

    Or Android 6.0 (2018-08-01)

    Or Debian 8 “Jessie” (2018-06-17)

    Or Linux Mint 17 (2019-07-01)

    Or Fedora 23 (2016-12-20)

    Or Slackware 14.1 (2024-01-01)

    Of all of these, not even Slackware comes close to how long Microsoft has supported Windows 10 post release (2015)

      To my knowledge upgrading to the newer release of any of those linux distros was not blocked by having only slightly old and perfectly serviceable hardware.
