Linux slowly dropping support for older hardware

[Genava55]

There is controversy following messages from some Linux kernel developers encouraging the abandonment of support for older hardware.

That is interesting and kinda concerning. AI does have some benefits things like this make it a lot worse. At some point people need to stop and see if it is really producing more good than harm, when you see cases like this it kinda makes it seem that the harms exceed the potential benefits. (That and the constant bots that spam our forums as well)

I don't blame the devs they're just trying to figure out how to cope with the flood of issues and bug reports that they have to deal with while still getting the word they are supposed to finish.

I don't think it is going to affect new devices that much. Ai said: General Desktop Users: Most modern users (using USB, PCIe, WiFi 5/6, and Ethernet chips from the last 15 years) will not notice any difference. So, I don't think it will be that much of a problem
