Would you enjoy trying to explain this to your grandma or other stereotypically tech-un-savvy relative after you got her to install Ubuntu and something she was able to do before stopped working after an update?

You're interested in backwards compatibility on servers, and in backwards compatibility for a subset of applications. Cool. Convenient for you! Recognise that there's more to it than that, that when people meme about how awesome Linux is compared to Windows, focusing on servers and non-graphical applications isn't good enough.

Not backwards compatibility. Straight up compatibility.

and yes, I wouldn't mind. I enjoy explaining things.
