Does anybody know how/whether this is going to affect hardware obsolescence?
I am not going to worry about it, sounds like a problem for my IT department since they are the ones who insist I use windows for work.

The good thing about Linux is if your distribution makes boneheaded decisions like MS, you can switch to another one.
Or fork it and make new distribution based on it minus the annoyimg bits
That and the other good thing: no distro will make decisions that are even in the ballpark of insanity of those by big tech corps.

Manjaro dev team enters the room.
Oh, they do those all the time.
And then either quietly backpedal once everybody complains or stick to it until everybody moves and they are dead.
