Re: "Vintage" PowerMac G4/800 (2002)
OSX and Linux are both ultimately derived from Unix but they are only distantly related. It is however possible to select an appropriate Linux window manager and configure it to look very like an OSX desktop, and the shell scripts are basically the same.
Machines of this era are indeed power hungry, and also very noisy because of their big fans. They are fine for occasional or intermittent use in a home office but are too noisy for a lounge and will be expensive to run if used 24/7.
