Do you have some examples?

The Nvidia NVK driver comes to mind where it requires a more recent version of Rust than my system does. Another example would be the OpenMW engine requiring a modern version of Qt. Both of these 2 examples require me to compile the Rust and Qt toolchains themselves before attempting to compile the projects depending on them. I'm yet to succeed with these 2
For the most part it's just a matter of integrating newer libraries into the system before compiling the actual project. Getting newer Mesa drivers on this system was probably the biggest of them all. I had to compile (LLVM toolchain, newer GCC, newer Python as well as some small libraries which Mesa depends on). As of recently I had to learn how to properly compile, configure and integrate a newer version of Xorg server as it was too old to run the Zink driver.
I could do away with all of this by installing a modern distro or a rolling release version, however I wouldn't learn much doing so.

Currently I'm using Fedora KDE on my desktops and laptops.
My SteamDecks are running SteamOS of course.
I recently built a custom retro machine using a Raspberry PI 5. I added a cooling solution to it and a m.2 ssd adapter so I could run Raspberry PI OS / KDE from it.
I put it in a transparent Amiga 500 case from a1200.net and cabled it up with a1200's accessories kit and some bits from Amazon.
From icomp.de I got a custom Keyrah board which allows original Amiga peripherals to be connected as USB devices. This way I could use an original Mitsumi keyboard from an Amiga 500 which fits the case. Also original joysticks can be connected now. I replaced the beige key caps with black ones from, again, a1200.net.
That's all I've got running at the moment.

Yeah. It was a nice project. You have multiple options of what to put in the case. Others put an actual a500 main board in. I choose a PI.
