At that point I'd rather recommend Linux. Oh wait, I'd do that at any point... ^^;

It's pretty good at pretty many things, one of them being giving new life to hardware that the other options no longer support, at all, while still being newer and they're supposed to keep on going for more than a few years at a time.

I'm basically still running my first install of Gentoo linux from 2010, although it has moved from a hard-disk/solid-state drive to another a couple of times probably, and the motherboard with the CPU and everything else included have been switched from sockets and such to another, without a complete re-install.

I have had no need for any of the other options since that 2010, but of course, depending on one's actual needs, I'm not saying that it will do the work for everyone for everything. ^^

On-topic: here's to hoping 2023 will be one with less of bots!
