Sometimes i wonder why windows is getting heavier and heavier each release but in other hand linux is getting lighter and lighter each update ?
Fun fact: if you run a newer kernel version on old hardware you will get better performance than running a kernel from when the hardware was released. It pains me when people run some old version of Debian on a 25 year old laptop. It is best to run something current.
It depends. On older devices there isn't much testing of newer versions of the kernel so they can be more broken than older version.
Case in point, recently on an old laptop (~12 years) I noticed video performance was really bad which I later found out was due to modern distros defaulting to the
iHD
intel graphics driver. ButiHD
is only supported from 5th gen (Broadwell) onward. So, on older devices anything depending on the graphics driver for hardware acceleration (like video decode) fails and falls back to software rendering.
