Fun fact: You can copy/paste a whole linux system as long as `-a` is passed to copy. Also, if you like copy/pasted Linux apps, there is the `AppImage` project that provides such a format and its tooling is rapidly improving. It is a self-contained alternative to Snap and Flatpak which only handle the file container and leaves security/sandboxing and distribution to other projects. But yes, the classic Mac was the first computer I ever used and I also have a sweet spot for it. I still own some recent Mac, but don't really like the increasing lack of flexibility and non-iOS development environment macOS has and do all my development on Linux. Classic macOS was the ultimate flexible OS, you could monkey-patch everything (which is also called a virus, but... POWER!).
