Hardware lasts a lot longer. People are forced to update because
vendors have given up on support and are forcing users to upgrade.
It's called planned obsolescence, as I'm sure you all already know.

Debian is (at least up to now) the Linux distribution one could rely
on to support hardware as long as its actual life without forcing
users to upgrade. I have ~2007 (Penryn) systems still in use that were
deployed with Debian when new, and I'm sure I'm not the only one. If
it ain't broke, don't fix it, just upgrade Debian :-)

Debian isn't Microsoft. Debian isn't Apple. Debian isn't Google.
Please don't learn the wrong lessons from them. Planned obsolescence
is bad, not good.

Cordially,
