Plenty of ten year old machines are still fast enough for most tasks. My old laptop has a quad core i7, 16 GB RAM and 1 TB SSD. It’s a shame it’s losing support.
It sucks but people are starting to realize that you cant support hardware forever, software evolves and older hardware simply doesn’t support certain features. I mean requiring Vukan 1.0 is pretty reasonable yet still it excludes a lot of people.
DKMS doesn’t mean it’s supported forever. https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/NVIDIA lists incompatibilities with kernel and CPU features.
Kepler and newer GPUs don’t work with Linux kernel 5.18 and newer.
NVIDIA also doesn’t update legacy drivers for newer versions of XOrg and Wayland after support ends.

Of course nothing is supported forever, I personally wouldn’t expect support past a decade (official or unofficial)
