I've been trying to buy a new computer for years. I finally put the remaining pieces on my Christmas list lol.
Good news, Linux works well on old computers, and in many cases, you can just move the boot drive to the new hardware and you're good.
If this is about SecureBoot stuff you'd have to get a new motherboard lol which basically means new everything sadly.
You don't need secure boot or TPM for Linux. So you could switch today, and when you need upgraded hardware, just move the boot drive over.
I know you don't need it for Linux, I was confused why you mentioned it.
That's the entire context of this subthead.
