If you do echo"3 6 * p" | dc in a terminal it’ll give you the result of 3x6, but the dc part of that is software that was written probably between 1969 and 1971.
Actually once recently I had problems because the wifi driver (b43) for the Dell Latitude D505 (2004) wasn’t in the live Boot environment (cause un-free).
I know it’s a même but Linux isn’t that good for running old app that have a user interface.
Old command line interface works perfectly but that’s mostly for developer.
windows make it available to everyone.
It’s one of the few things windows does better, might as well recognize it.

Had this exact scenario with an old flatbed scanner. No win10 drivers and it never had mac drivers. Ran without issue in up to date Mint.

huh. Did you end up using a ethernet cable then?
Old Linux software usually has to be completed from source anyway (uhh the effort) which essentially makes it future proof

No. I’m comfortable with command line tools, and I’m far from being a developer. People used DOS etc. as well without being developers.
Well, unfortunately there are sw inside windows that are even older
