As I wrote before, I was sure I could constantly upgrade the main board but it is not the case. Probably we will still do that anyway. When they will place the new board on the website I will think about getting it.
That's a valid point, but I see it as a separate issue. If they promised upgradability they shouldn't now pretend that they haven't.

I have a laptop like that, but it's running a little older KDE, because it's on Debian 9 and I haven't updated it in a while.

I never said you can run the latest software. Software keeps getting more complicated, so at some point you have to upgrade your hardware or run something more lightweight. But progress is always a good thing and with GNU/Linux we can at least still use those old devices and get newest security patches, which isn't usually the case on other operating systems.
