They will still be able to use 2D and CLI just fine.
A CPU is not a video card. (Not counting the latest AMD/Intel CPUs 😉 ) I can't believe you are even comparing the two.
How is it a bad comparison to make? If I am running Linux on a Pentium MMX system, am I using a modern video card? No, I'm not. I'm using an older PCI or AGP video card that is now going to be unsupported in future Linux releases. If my video card is now unsupported, then they may as well drop support for my CPU, too, because I won't be able to use future Linux releases without video card support even if future releases still support my CPU. Get it?
Why are you running Linux on your Pentium MMX and what do you need 3D for? 🙄
There was a time when games were released commercially for Linux. 🙄
