    Call me crazy, but I don’t see people rocking laptops from 2008 until this date, I have seen people using Macs from that day using recent macOS versions (with OCLP) and some hardware tweaks like upgrading the RAM or SSD if needed, or replacing the battery.

    Heck my Mac is from 2014 and it runs fairly fine.

      I happened to sell an old PC recently, from 2010 IIRC. It had a Windows 8 license that could be “upgraded” to Windows 10 which would run fine on this machine until at least 2025. I think 15 years is quite okay. After that it could still run Linux like forever.

      I have an asus laptop from the windows 8 days, sticker doesn’t even say 8.1. Can’t run windows for shit anymore but it flies with linux, even distros with gnome. I think my toshiba was 8.1, that thing flies with linux too.
