Another great alternative to Windows 10 is Mac OS 9.2.2.
Even comes with the latest Bungie games!

I literally sometimes still RIP CDs with iTunes on Mac OS 9 on my iMac G4. Still works fine—yes, including getting titles from the Internet.
As easy as ever. 🤷

Gnucash is a nice simple Gtk/GUI accountancy program; I've used it to keep track of my spending, income, credit cards etc for well over a decade; it does simple double-entry stuff and also has some more advanced stuff for generating reports and small businesses.

Anyone who can tell me whether it also a good alternative for Mac OS on an Apple laptop with Apple M1 Pro chip?

I ran Snow Leopard on my main personal server longer than any other OS version. I only moved to a new version when the last Mac I had that could run SL died.
I like a lot of things that exist in more modern macOS which were not present in SL. I deeply miss its stability.

From my "crushingly dull obligatory tech history" in BSD Cafe wiki:
❮ Former Mac user (1992–2014; AppleSeed programme member 2009–2014). The GUI of OS X 10.10 Yosemite drove me away from Apple. I gradually switched from OS X 10.9.5 Mavericks to PC-BSD. Then TrueOS, then FreeBSD-CURRENT. In the midst of all that, some…

Exploring Neural Amp Modeler
Neural Amp Modeler is based on neural net technology that analyzes a sound and produces a file to reproduce it. The technology is open source, so people can use it to capture amplifier tones and then play instruments through them. There are fancy plugins for Windows and Mac OS, but because I am running Linux Mint, I had to download the file from GitHub and compile it on my machine.

My late father had a lot of old (c. 2000?) Macintosh books. Are these of interest to anyone?
I can't guarantee I'd be able to dig up any CD-ROMs that came with them, but it's possible. And you'll need to be patient because they're located 100 miles from me.

I regret to inform you that it is over for macOS

Subspace {L}usternik-{S}chnirelmann category of quasi-projective quaternionic spaces

Subspace {L}usternik-{S}chnirelmann category of quasi-projective quaternionic spaces
Let $Q_n$ be the quasi-projective subspace of the symplectic group $\mathrm{Sp}(n)$. In this short note, we prove that the subspace Lusternik-Schnirelmann category of $Q_n$ in $\mathrm{Sp}(n)$ is 2. For that, we use a quaternionic logarithm, as Singhof did in the complex case for the determination of the Lusternik-Schnirelmann category of the unitary group. Our result generalizes the known case $n=2$ (by L. Fernández-Suárez, A. Gómez-Tato and D. Tanré) and has to be compared to the equali…
