I feel you. I have my old PC with quiet an “ancient” chipset. Installed an NVMe and installed Linux on it… Just to find out that my AHCI controller isn’t supported by it with all my Windows hard drives. It’s either booting that NVMe with the Linux one or booting the deprecated Windows ones from BIOS. 12-13 years of reliable hardware… :/ Hope there is a kernel patch supporting it again

I’m guessing the cash cow needs some milking. Especially with new lucrative technology lurking around the corner. “Milk before it’s overdue”

Or just let them compete on an island which gets smaller and smaller until there’s just one person standing!
