Yeah this is basically the older generation vs video games, the one before that against movies, etc, etc…

As people age they resent the world changing, they assume everything different is bad because it’s easier to accept than the thought of aging into irrelevance.

Lemmy is full of people knee-jerk hating anything new; social media, ai, and every new thing younger generations do. It’s dumb but people are often so.

I think the point is you can put a fully updated new Linux on a decade old ThinkPad but with windows you’d need to buy a whole new laptop to run modern stuff also it would be unusably slow
