What if my new hardware ends up being RISC V?

    IIRC the x86_64 binaries won't work, so you will require a reinstall.

    Yes, but that's always the case when you're switching architectures. The x86 binaries won't work on ARM, either.

    And that's where my comment matches what the Avid Amoeba is going with, that Debian will make the hardware usable for so long that RISC V might be mainstream (and maybe even powerful enough compared to current x86_64) by the time I decide to change the system.
