Switch to Linux!

More over being a luddite on Linux is like a fish trying to breathe in a public swimming pool; it works until the chlorine poisoning sets in.
Linux adopts new technology constantly.
The difference is that Linux generally adopts new technology because it enhances the user experience in some way, and not because it maximizes ad revenue and telemetry.
Very true.
Ehn, one can survive pretty long with a stable distro.
Yes, but eventually that LTS goes EOL and you'll have to move from that abandonware.
Ubuntu LTS versions can last 10-12 years before EOL.
Yes, 10-12y to swim, slowly in-taking chlorine overtime...
Then when you do finally switch, you find yourself in a similar yet vastly different swimming pool and the cycle starts over.
Image when eventually the LTS goes Wayland only and Luddites go : "I'mma just say with my abandonware forever."
Luddites hate adapting to new technology as a character trait, it's what makes them a Luddite.
Luddites will often choose to deal with decrepit, vulnerable, abandonware then change to something new because they don't want to spend a week learning new "muscle memory".
