i agree with him on this. dropping support on any hardware goes against the inherent ideals of free software which is that us commoners should be allowed to use whatever hardware we have freely, without the corpos ordering us around. its about sending a message. i don't think it would be that hard to find a nerd who would be willing to maintain these old cpu's

>There's a proposed change for Linux version 7.1 that, if merged
So, it's only proposed. It might not even happen.

You are virtue signalling. The 486 is e-waste and I guarantee that the number of people who actively use Linux on a 486 (other than for a quick neofetch screenshot in pursuit of updoots on r/vintageunix) can be counted on one hand. And it's not like Linux is going to immediately stop working on these computers *if* this patch gets in, these people would be able to use an LTS kernel for the next few years and still receive security updates, and after that move to NetBSD, which will retain 486 support for a very long time, if they REALLY don't want to upgrade their 80s shitbox.

This guy is an insufferable grifter but yeah, not supporting old hardware is just an excuse to make shit software pretty much. It takes almost no maintenance because the kernel is modular and existing support will still work so long as existing ABI isn't broken which is bad practice anyway. Anything else is moot because just about anything works if you just compile with a different march. The kernel out of anything should work to maintain support just because the moment programs start relying on new kernel features, it gates arches from using them. Also this creates more LTS security maintenance hell
