    “Just gonna keep using 10 and pass everything through a pfsense router. Strictly speaking it’s the cheaper and safer option.”

    No.

    The pfsense router is fine but continuing to use an outdated OS that was riddled with vulnerabilities when it was current is not only the LEAST safe option it also means that you are ignoring vastly more secure and FREE options.

    Dump Windows 10 and install Linux Mint.

      Windows 10 is not outdated. It’s currently supported, with security updates available through at least October 2027.

      Just wanted to make sure people knew that.

      I get the performance, but no really it’s fine. Mint isn’t the solution you all think it is. Having windows 10 isn’t a death sentence, some things you can’t really do on Linux if you need to make money.
