I used to work in a bank IT department 13 years ago and all their systems still ran on Java 1.4.2 and COBOL procedures, at the time IBM was basically forcing them to migrate to Java 1.6 by the end of the year because the new LTS version didn't support that Java version anymore.

My laptop has been running Pop OS for the past 5 years and its been a delight to use for dev stuff and random gaming, really wish i could move my desktop to Linux too but i mostly use that for gaming and don’t really want to reboot my PC and switch OS when i need to play a game with anticheat.
