      I believe Debian is pretty much never on the latest kernel, their priority is stability and not having the latest everything, so you should be good for a while.

      Worst case scenario, you can still recompile the kernel with those drivers put back in, I guess.

    Aging hardware (not limited to graphics cards) will be plagued by this and by :
    1_ Moist corrosion (dry place please)
    2_ Heat activated diffusion (heat sink)
    3_ Random small levels of gamma radiation (error correction with redundance)
    Fight against entropy never ends

    I don’t know much about GPUs. For a second I thought they meant Rx 200 series (my R9 290 still works really well)

    The Radeon R200 series is from 2001 - 2004.
    R100 was released in 2000. Are people still using those?

      Plenty of people do for retro gaming/emulation.
