If you have time to tinker with it, I highly recommend you spend some time with classic Mac OS! It obviously cannot replace the modern computer, but as a sidekick for your brain it is wonderful… Mac OS 9's Acrobat Reader still supports the PDF website captures by Safari in Sonoma.

I use it as an external brain. I love that the Finder is spatial and has a one-to-one relationship between windows and documents and files and icons… and I benefit from it leaving icons where I put them

And sometimes I play great 90s/2k games on my external brain :)
