Not sure about DOS, but Windows 10 will happily run 16-bit Windows software. You have to use the 32-bit version of Windows though - the 64-bit version dropped support.
Avatar is a lemming in bed because this account wasn’t intended to be used except for creating communities… and then my instance announced it was closing.

I looked up the non-Apple name and it’s eSCL. That’s a lot easier to search for.
Yes, you can now use AirScan (also called something else I don’t recall currently) for “driverless” scanning.

I find this very useful to read paywalled articles that Google has managed to index!
OK, I see why they might want to get rid of it.
I use f2fs on my Raspberry Pis, it’s designed for flash storage and appears to have much better performance than ext4 on the same device. I’m not sure whether it’s suitable for SSDs, or just SD cards and USB (these devices are optimised for FAT and f2fs utilises that optimisation). When I tried to use f2fs on a proper laptop it was too early and the distro didn’t support booting from it. I assume that has changed now.
As for the others, I usually stick with ext4 as I’ve never seen a compelling reason not to.
Upvoted for NetSurf. I wrote the Amiga frontend for it, and as such it’s my favourite browser on that platform (OS4 anyway - the OS3 build is very unstable)
