Hah! That is of course complete nonsense. Also with Linux there are end-of-life products and end of support. Upgrade not always possible, depending on version or distro. Good luck compiling/running programs on an older system and you cannot upgrade the dependencies or the mismatch of versions.
In some ways the issues with this are even bigger on Linux than Windows.
One big advantage to Linux is the fact that it can run on older hardware, even newer versions. I give you that.
