Let's put the right context on this comment:

- Your PC is x86 but here we deal with ARM architecture. Long term support for ARM based products is a different topic.

- PCs currently sold still offer more or less the same user experience than your old PC based on a regular screen, keyboard and mouse.

- Did you buy that PC with openSuse or with Windows something inside? The question is: are you getting official updates from the vendor you got the PC or the OS from?

- If you got that PC with Windows and now you are relying on a free Linux distro, then the equivalent is to rely on plain open source MeeGo.
