Hey friends and welcome to Nomadic Dmitry channel
In the previous video we have discussed using Mac OS 10 "Snow Leopard" in 2020
I installed it on Solid State Drive
And I showed you how to use it
Today I'm going to extend this video because I've installed
modern (almost modern) applications there
I've tried to use it in 2020 and let me share my observations
The first observations is PowerPC applications support which you can't find anywhere now
A good example is Word 2004
and it works perfectly fine there
The only thing I didn't liked about Word 2004 are those floating panel
You can still use it for reading the documents and things like that
Another point is that almost all productivity applications are available
Even the interface looks fine by modern standards
Another point is regarding the developer options. I have a separate video where I discuss that as well
For example - the Linux tools are there such as MacPorts
You can type "port search [name of the package]"
Next point is the classic Mac interface available there
Especially interesting for those who don't like the modern interface of Mac OS
I also like the animations there
Many features were added to Mac OS later, but I don't really user the new ones much
Especially things like Virtual desktops - I don't see any point in those
Another point the Pro apps. Those are still working fine.
Final Cut is a good example. GarageBand also works fine.
Another point is that it's also good for ripping the CD disks
iTunes is good for basic tasks like that
Perfect for playing the music library that you have
Winamp also works on Mac
YouTube works for playing videos, but you need to find a specific approach to use it
You can use the application called "TenFiveTube" for this purpose
It plays fine, but might have problems playing those in full screen
There are more browsers available, but not everything works fine there
A good browser is an ArticFox (link in the description below)
Safari is too outdated and doesn't perform well on new websites
Old Mac OS "Snow Leopard" was not that bad
In many ways it was even better than the modern versions. Try it!
