I would really like for it to be easier to run NeXT/OPENSTEP on modern hardware --- somehow, since Mac OS X 10.6.8, Mac OS has gotten ever less comfortable (and I really miss the "Unix Expert" checkbox, as well as the repositionable main menu, tear off menus, pop-up main menu, Display PostScript, nxhosting, &c.

An educational copy of OPENSTEP 4.2 was the last thing I purchased for myself from Apple since they discontinued the Newton MessagePad.... and I'm sad my Cube quit booting, and that I never got it running on my ThinkPad.

100% this.

Let's hope projects like https://github.com/trunkmaster/nextspace succeed.

Yeah, a nice GNUstep or similar environment for Linux would be a workable option --- I'd love to see something optimized for a Raspberry Pi....
