SLES is to my knowledge used by Enterprises and as base for LEAP. So, may I assume that TW is spared from this idea?
If not, then I too disagree. My system is used for video editing and system builds and is still fast enough. It features an AMD Phenom2 965 (x86_64-v1) processor. The system BIOS has no UEFI. Another system has UEFI, but I switched back to BIOS boot due to issues of booting from CD/DVD's.
I hope that openSUSE TW does not follow the MS-way of unnecessary forcing users to buy new hardware where the old is still perfectly viable. I don't use Windows anymore and rely(ed) solely on openSUSE for all my past and current systems.

But considering the improvements and relatively IMHO cheap hardware less than US$200 for a Intel Quad core MiniPC (I use Aeon on it) that has built in hardware encoder/decoder, as well as hardly using any power seems a viable option for you? -- Cheers Malcolm °¿° (Linux Counter #276890) Tumbleweed 20250211 | GNOME Shell 47.4 | 6.13.1-1-default HP Z440 | Xeon E5-2695 V4 X36 @ 2.10GHz | ARC A380 & RTX4000 up 23:14, 3 users, load average: 0.23, 0.28, 0.56
