Not that is nescessarily a problem if you know what you are getting into and willing too make the sacrifices to own such building.
I just hear about a lot of people that buy a 17th or 18th century farm or house for example and find out the are not even allowed to change to double pane glass because of it's classification as monument.

As much as I want to joke that it is the year of the Linux desktop, I think it is mostly because the younger you are the less likely you are to have a pc (so Windows, Mac, Linux and BSD for the dozens of you).
As far as I can see most of the time people use their phone for everything and only touch a pc for work or if they have a hobby that requires the use of a pc (gaming, digital art, music, programming, etc...).
