When was the last time you tried Linux? I just replaced my entire computer (CPU, motherboard, GPU, etc) and my Debian (bookworm) installation booted with zero issues. No need to reinstall anything.
I certainly remember fighting with xorg.conf settings, graphics drivers, and kernel modules in the past. I haven't had to deal with troubles like that in nearly 10 years though.
Just because something is old doesn't mean it should get a free pass on continuing to use leaded fuel though... there must be other reasons why leaded is still used besides simple knock sensors and ignition timing.
I don't think streaming games will ever be a viable business. Maybe for slow turn based games it works fine, but anything time/frame rate sensitive is a no-go. I just can't see it ever going beyond novelty.
