I personally would not have a problem paying a small yearly fee($20-50) for a stable long term support version(5 years at least) of an OS that did what I needed and supported my (generally older) hardware.

Hello!
Have you heard of an operating system called SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop?
It's a stable long term supported distribution with over 5 years of support, and as an 'Enterprise' product supports a very wide range of hardware, including generally older hardware.
It's available under an annual subscription model, costing $50 a year
Yup, bought that too, but was all Gnome and didn't even keep up with the timely releases of office suites we bought it to run. There might have been a reason it was all Gnome, since that was back in the KDE4 wars era. Could be suse was smart enough not to eat it's own dogfood. It was generally regarded as a rip off by those customers who ended up using it. -- Sent from my Android phone with K-9 Mail.
