Re: Lubuntu is taking a new direction
#2I am quite concerned that network security is pushing very usable software and hardware to the junkyard. Is it possible that for a variety of reasons, it is better to have something reliable and stable, than to throw out working software because of intractable browser and network security problems ?

#3It won't be long until my primary gaming rig is ten years old, and it's more than capable of everything I throw at it. The upgrade cycle is essentially dead.
That being said, I'm not clear on what the real difference between Lubuntu and Kubuntu will be now.

It's better to throw out insecure software. Computers with security problems get hacked and end up in botnets.

You must not throw much at it

KDE and LXQt are radically different, even though they use the same underlying framework. In a way, it'll be the same difference as XFCE vs. GNOME.

Even good quality laptop hardware is lasting. I'm using a laptop that's about 8 years old as my daily driver, and it can more than handle everything I need it to do - and that includes compiling software regularly. We've reached a great time for computers because pretty much any device you can buy (even used) can do all the stuff most people need to do. The primary advantage of newer gear is just reduced power requirements.

I cannot think of a single AAA title in recent memory that causes my i7 2600k -- an 8 year old CPU -- to struggle.
It can play absolutely every single modern game, with the only component upgrade in its 8 year life being the GPU.

You can stick a new GPU into a 10 year old machine and it would run modern games admirably.
