Hi.
I am using Fedora 35 and everything is working fine in general.
But I was checking out my hardware and I realized that It is from
2013. My
CPU is 4th generation intel and I am using the nvidia-470 drivers for
my
video card. Motherboard uses the H87 chipset.
I just wonder if this combination will become obsolete anytime soon
and should I worry about it...
Well in one sense it is already obsolescent tech. It attained that
status a couple of months or maybe *days* after it left the production
line. But in another sense, it is NOT obsolete. It still works and does
*exactly* what is was designed to do and within its specifications.
Of course you can do 'better' than that today. Faster etc.
My desktop has an Asus P8 series motherboard. The manual is copyright
dated June 2011. I installed an Nvidia Geforce 9500GT in the predecessor
motherboard and moved it over to this one when I upgraded about 4 years
ago. (It uses the nvidia-3xx series drivers! and drives a 30" Dell
monitor I bought in early 2007).
Has a 240G SSD for Fedora, and 2 500G nvme ssd's for storage (both in
adapters as the MB has no M.2 slots). The second 500G nvme is recent,
*because I got tired of listening to the hard drive hum!* The
Thermaltake closed-system water cooler is basically silent and the core
temps are generally about 35C. If I power test the system, I get 60C.
So this is not useless tech. To get anything faster I would need to step
up to a faster CPU and MB and RAM... for not a lot of change.
What you have seems to meet your requirements so why are you worried?
My setup works like a charm and usually has an uptime measured in weeks.
