My hardware often works literally for over a decade. If being frugal and taking care of your devices is "antiproductive" for you, I'm a little bit concerned but it's up to you anyways.

Maybe you live in a 1st world country and earn $15K monthly and you can replace your laptop every month. Good. I can afford one every few years at best.

Win+V works here in XFCE as well only it shows over 35 recent entries as opposed to maybe 5 in Windows 10.

All my laptops are at least 3 years old, if not 7. My Nexus 7 is 9 years old, still use it every day.

Taking care of something that doesn't need taking care of seems to be a waste of time though. If the computer gets too hot, it'll slow down until it's not by itself.
