There are a lot of entries where the latest distro is version 10x and 11x.
Well, if a machine works with 10x, it will (normally) continue working with later versions :-)
Too a point :-)
I wouldn't make a recommendation like that on the forums. Especially with the latest hardware including the latest graphics cards, wifi, touchpads, UEFI and so on...
Eumm... you are getting it wrong.
If some one logs an entry that the machine he buys on 2007 runs 10.1 perfectly, it is very probable that the same machine will continue working correctly with later openSUSE releases.
Nowhere can it be inferred that it is the latest hardware. It is 2007 vintage hardware, today.
That is the meaning of what I wrote.
There is no need for people to update the old entries they wrote about their hardware working with whatever old release. What there is need is that when they try any new hardware, they add entries for that hardware.
Hopefully, it will be some years till I create an entry in there. Unless I get into big money!

Understood. Personally I've been updating my hardware entries. I come from a background of being a Senior Tech Engineer providing support for data acquisition hardware and EDA software for a very large international hardware/simulation company. Everything has to be exact and up-to-date. So these habits are hard to break. The problem is getting people to navigate to that section and adding their hardware. I also will not be purchasing for a few years. I may reconsider this Fall/Spring 2016 when Skylake comes out or the next tick-tock after it comes out. Maybe 2018.
