It's a shame if he never did anything with it, but thanks for going into detail! :D
As others have said, the general rule is simple: if it no longer runs what you want it to run, upgrade.
For example, I have an Nvidia RTX 2060 GPU. It's no longer that new, it's like 5+ years old at this point. But most of the games I play are at least 10 years old—I think the newest, and most graphically intense, game I own is Cyberpunk 2077—and my GPU runs them just fine.
So, why would I spend hundreds of dollars on a new GPU when it's still wholly functional for my needs?
It's not okay for management to do that either. The devs don't need asshole customers doing it too.
Looks like they invented a new way to doxx people!
Does it still exist, and can it be implemented client-side? That sounds really cool!
Oof.
But yeah.
Welcome to America.
Sadly.
Ooh that's a good point. I mean, not Linux Mint because as thanksforallthefish said below it's not a Mint-supported DE but I actually installed Arch (btw) with the KDE Plasma DE onto an old laptop I have and yeah it definitely gives early-2010s OS X vibes. :)
That's legit.
I hate GNOME because it feels like an iPhone.
That's fair.
I don’t know much about what Ubuntu is doing but it surely can’t be that bad.
You would be surprised.
Can't Firefox already do this though?
