Even when I had very little money available, I bought the best system I could afford, with the intention of using it for several years.
Absolutely! That's what I do. I buy my computers to last a decade at least.
Great! If you're the kind of person willing to spend money in order to run the same hardware for 10 years I know an company who is willing to take your money in exchange for software which each version is built and supported for 10 years (or even longer in some circumstances)
They're called SUSE, and they sell SUSE Linux Enterprise.
If a customer needs support for (10 years old or whatever age) 32-bit hardware, he cannot buy SUSE Linux Enterprise 12 (SLE12). For 32-bit hardware he can only buy SUSE Linux Enterprise 11. Accordingly I think: If an openSUSE user needs support for 32-bit hardware, he cannot get Leap from openSUSE (because Leap is derived from SLE12). For 32-bit hardware he can get 13.1 or 13.2 from openSUSE. If an openSUSE user needs support for a released openSUSE version for a longer time as openSUSE provides, he should get in contact with the Evergreen community project.
