If you like Amiga Workbench, you can always try MorphOS. But that is not a straightforward process to get into. And it’s not free software…

If it’s an earlier model, they make great ‘retro’ games and software machines. Install 10.4 Tiger, set up the Classic (OS 9 environment). That gives you a decent chance of running stuff from System 6-ish (late 80s) up to mid 2000s. Not like Macs had a lot of games or unique software, but it can be cool for the heck of it.

Also, with their FireWire ports, it can be handy if you still have old DV or HDV camcorders, pretty straightforward to capture old tapes. The later models are better for this purpose, more processing power and better graphics cards.

If neither of those use cases appeals to you or sounds like an applicable use case, the G5 towers are the best to use for ATX case mods. But you did mention you didn’t see a point in that. Therefore… Recycle it or pass it on to someone who is interested in tinkering with it. After 20 years, just like a lot of computers from that era, they don’t have alot of justified use cases… And that’s okay!

I definitely identify with the second kid. Being tossed around so much because they tried to figure me out and failed definitely doesn’t help. “You’re good! But not good enough.”

I still suffer from this. Promising early start, intense self-confidence issues and depression by the end.

I had a particularly bad automatic transmission in my first car and went with a manual shortly after.

There’s a commercial Linux client I was using called Insync and it was perfect. Only stopped using it because I switched away from Linux

I’ve been wearing a rainbow pin and watch band for over a year, with the same idea in mind: hoping it made others feel safe and seen. I will support them to the end and beyond.

I have a fear that my appearance overwrites any of that intention of goodwill, though. When I was struggling, members of the LGBTQ+ community were my only solace and are the only reason I’m around today. But those people never saw me physically, just spoke online. It’s sad to know my support of them and my undying thanks may never be seen past the person I am on the outside.

LEGO Island was so awesome… been following MattKC for awhile now and was super pleased he took this on.

I had been looking into trying to remake the island in something more modern like Blender, but without reference or debug info, it’s difficult.

Hopefully this results in some newer and better ways to play. Though it will probably take a few years!

I’ve been case free on all my devices since the iPhone SE 1st gen. Tons of scratches and dings. But I prefer the way it feels in my hand and pocket, and it just works. If the scratches are too much, I get a replacement screen or device… which isn’t often

It’s screens all the way down.
