OS 9 on the upgraded G4 Cube: Always in awe at how well this works using like 50 or 70 mb for the major apps of the time. Sure collaborative multitasking sucks but in a real usage situation it doesn’t affect much your workflow.
I am also surprised at how comfortable I am at using this 25+ years later. Well I did spend 4 years using Mac OS 7 & 8 daily at work and slightly older versions of the apps.
I still have dual boot to OSX 10.5 but indeed a super fast #OS9 is better
