What I learned from my time in the computer business is 'don't rely on just one computer'. When those old Windows machines reach their planned obsolescence date and still have good specs I add them to my collection of 'sacrifice if needed' systems. I also bought 6 or so SATA laptop drives and installed different Linux OS's on them and they are totally 'plug-n-play' into desktop PC's. It's quicker plugging 2 connectors than loading-up a VM in my opinion. Also Linux is not designed to put you under surveillance because it was free to start with.
So why do I need many machines? If you look at the Gimp3 development library it is massive. Even though Gimp3 is not released it is a lot more complex than earlier Gimps. I think 2 factors are at play here. People expect more from software and the people providing this tech are getting fewer. I could elaborate on that but it maybe smart to leave it there
