Quoted from Pinchroma:They are running Linux. If they can't keep it running I can. I wouldn't worry about the PC based components. (Maybe the screen if it's some kind of awkward size).
Well, replacing motherboard/cpu/memory will be easy, even in let's say 10 years - as x86 will not die out so quickly
But you may no longer be able to plug in the sata disk with the OS/Code on it and have to look for some way to clone it onto the new media type.
It's also possible that this several year old Linux installation will no longer boot correctly on the new system, due to different hardware and missing drivers.
I can also forsee problems with new graphics and sound chips, as well as possible compatibility problems with the Python code itself.
So, without constant updating on the code, there may be no easy switch on the hardware side of things and people need to look for legacy stuff on ebay when something breaks down.
