i don't know about GPUs, but it doesn't matter how good you take care of a motherboard past 2018, it will get fucked after 3 years of use
a friend's motherboard got fucked after 3 years of use too
and our motherboards weren't even cheap ones
if you assemble a desktop, instead of using a shitty soldered laptop from today's age, thinking that it will survive for more than 3 years, game over, man
it's jover for desktopcels

if i were to buy a desktop now, i would buy a second hand thinkstation or a dell optiplex for 200-300 euros

and one thing i've noticed is that, as older your desktop is, the lesser chances you have for it to get fucked

BSD is gets no money despite being used by Microsoft, Apple, Netflix, Nintendo and Sony as the base or components for their operating systems. If you check GitHub or any of the Python or JavaScript package managers you'll find thousands and thousands of packages that have not made a single cent and never will.

The idea that open source makes money but Free Software doesn't is corpo propaganda. The same kind of corpo propaganda that tells devs to male their programs MIT-icensed so maybe Google will buy it for a billion dollars. That bullshit is now completely gone, just like the junior webdev 300k salaries.

The only reason the FSF doesn't make any money is because The Linux Foundation stole all the credit from the GNU operating system.
