I maintain the following laptops in our family: ThinkPad R61 ThinkPad T400s ThinkPad X201 Macbook Pro 2010 All of them don't support UEFI, but run Fedora 32 just fine and are still useful to my relatives. I think one of the important roles of Linux distributions is that they allow you to keep using hardware that has been obsoleted by its vendors, help you fight the planned obsolescence. I know that supporting old hardware comes at a cost and at some point we just have to make a cut, but doing it for hardware that is 8-10 years old is not much better than the planned obsolescence.
