There have been plenty of cases of windows messing up boot configuration if dual boot over the years, though it's pretty rare more recently. The last one was only a few months ago and affected systems using secure boot https://www.zdnet.com/article/windows-update-breaks-linux-dual-boot-but-there-is-a-fix-for-some-users/

You're extrapolating to "forever". I just want to reduce e-waste by not forcing people to get new computers they don't want or need yet. Every year of additional service life, more people upgrade hardware for other reasons.
Because of the sheer amount of e-waste it will generate by force-decommissioning hardware in active usage. Don't know why that's so hard to understand.
Biden/Harris: [drops the bare minimum of crumbs from the table without pursuing any enduring change]
Harris campaign: [runs as far and as fast as possible to the right, abandoning policies to help the working class Harris campaigned on in 2020]

You can do PGO with GCC, though it takes extra steps of course

This is actually a fantasy state. The current situation is a natural step along the road that Republicans have been walking since the 70s. The Christian nationalist take over of the party happened long before trump and I don't see any reason why it would recede with his departure.
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.
I completely agree that business ghouls doing business ghoul things make studios make worse games... doesn't really affect my point though... studios are not making games based on a "bar" set by the consumers as described in the original post....
They are part of the studios.... point was "the bar" is "fun/interesting". The vast majority of people that purchase games don't have a bar as defined by the comment I originally replied to.
Studios can make whatever they want. People aren't putting in orders.
