  • There’s multiple good answers in the comments but context can help.

    Why do you need to stay on Win10?

    Can’t update? Don’t want to update?

    Personally I moved to Linux Mint about 2 years ago. My laptop I just switched to Fedora (I think the UI is great on laptops but not a fan on desktops).

    Anything Windows exclusive I need to keep around (and there are many reasons but they are highly subjective) I run Windows in a VM.

    On top of that, I use ameliorated.io to reclaim the OS as my own and have little issues as far as privacy or security. As such, I didn’t mind updating to Win11. The way the ameliorated version runs is essentially the same as 10. So I get a clean interface (no asinine menu system), secured with admin and user accounts, no telemetry, no bloat. I’m very happy with this setup. If I had to stay 100% on windows for some reason this is how I’d run it.


  • My comment was in context of existing business infrastructure. You’re right that most of us don’t have a fax machine, but many organizations still do and therefore it can be very convenient for B2B communication. And in the case of orgs that want faxes but you don’t have one, ifax is a thing as well.

    I’m not making an argument for faxes, I’m just saying for an outdated technology it’s stayed quite useful in the modern era.
