Your vendor didn't provide you with free updates to match changes in the larger OS ecosystem. Then you get mad at the larger OS for not supporting the niche software of your vendor. BTW neither the vendor nor the OS maker is the problem. You are. Your entitlement that the world should grind to a halt to wait for you is.

Is having a unix philosophy on software entitled? Then I guess I am then.

Unix philosophy on software ? Let's be real here.

Command line Posix stuffgenerally works and Linux stuff works because Linus insists it should.

But what about the whole glibc debacle from about a decade ago? Entire distros broke compatibility.

And let's not get started with *nix GUI framewors and apps, those break compat more often than I change my socks :-)))
