this isn’t about the age of the OS, it’s the age of the device. I can install linux on a device from 20 years ago if not more.

    I don't know. just the other day somebody on lemmy was asking about installing a 32bit distro on an old netbook and the majority of comments were discussing whether there was any practical reason for distros to continue 32-bit support.
