It’s partially a moving target issue, from what I see. The oneplus 6 and the pinephone were almost there until countries started mandating volte (daily drove a op6 for a bit pre-volte requirement, with the only thing not working being the camera)

Got a laptop that came with Vista, but really could have only handled XP well (opening an app on a fresh install involved waiting and preparing for the app to lag when in use). Put Linux on it and had no problem with gnome2
