Even 10 years after we've all switched to Wayland there will still be random companies that want to stick solidly in the past rather than upgrade their systems. Call it the windows XP effect.


    So linux systems will be older than other operating systems. 20 years old Video cards can support features which are still not implemented by drivers or compositors.... but they continue to sold newer video cards for no reason. So the reason to buy new hardware not supported is the madness.

    They are payed to make obsolete Linux so to avoid market problem to microsoft.

      Ehm... can you pull your head from your backside?
      A company that decides to support a specific release of its own distro for 10+ years, a distro that is bought and used by companies that on 99% don't give a crap about new features because probably they are making servers or office workstations/thin clients that are pretty fine even now....

      in what way does make obsolete Linux as a whole?

      Actually their (minor) work is needed to keep up Red Hat which is doing a ton of other more useful things too.
