If Ralph was referring to the general challenge of supporting old OSes on new hardware, then I am pretty sure you can and will still be able to install old versions of linux distros on the new hardware.

Any supported distro will receive newer kernels (eventually, because some distros just update really slow, and faster if they need to support new-generation hardware).
Assuming new drivers are actually needed (rather than needing them only to unlock new features).
