browsing internet with old OSes
one by one, web sites stop working with the following:

Windows 7/8 (both have same level of support)
Linux kernel 4 compatible environment (Kernel 5+ will work)

Kernel 4 issues:
-GUI doesnt work (you need pieces of Gnome or KDE to make the important browsers work)
useless browsers will work no matter what but you cant open those web sites which recommend using Windows 11
-you cant compile new browsers ontop of Kernel 4 compatible environment anymore

Even if you try Kernel 5 on top of old environment like Slackware 14.0. You cant get new enough GUI to run in it

Text browsers are useless even when they work.

Yes, that's what it means to be unsupported, obsolete and abandoned. The entire world has moved on and if you're not some kind of software archivist, you should too.

>old browser

not that, it would be silly

the idea is to try to get new browsers work with old OSes
