What have you done with an early Intel recently?

Yes, I am sure it is logical to those languages. To outsider it seems just weird.

I guess they have an acute lack of kbd space when they are dealing with something like this: 😵‍💫 😂

With Windows and PowerToys it's ways easier:you type a letter and the right arrow and you get all corresponding diacritics including greek/cyrillic variants.
By the way Macs still have trouble to type m³ or km²...

You can set up text substitution in System preferences.

For example I made a text substitution that if I type alt+2+2 I get ² and if I type alt+3+3 I get ³. You can make ones that give you directly m³ or km² too. Takes few seconds to config once and then work as fast as any key combo.

I am sure there are other ways too. Like opening emojis and symbols (ctrl + cmd + space), searching for superscript and saving superscript 2 and 3 (and whatever else you frequently need) to your favorites. You can access them from there quite easily. But, IMO text substitution is easiest way.

Does only work consistently on Apple's apps.
You can tweak it with Karabiner. Works better.

I recently got my Macbook 2,1 on Tiger, the exact same combination that first introduced me to Apple. I've been using PPCMC 7 via Rosetta and VLC 0.9.10 to download n play 720p YouTube videos just like it was 2010 again. I can even send YouTube urls from my iPhone X to be downloaded onto the Tiger MacBook 2,1 via the PPCMC7 Web Interface. This is definitley delaying the next update with an intel edition (not everything works via Rosetta, such as FFPlay v4.4.5 included in v7.2.7 and also it is slower due to not being native) but regardless the nostalgia is crazy. Even when I first started developing PPCMC 7 over 5 years ago I never had this setup.

I'm going to have to ask you for help in configuring PPCMC7, because for the life of me I've ever gotten it to work on my MacBook 1,1 on Snow Leopard.

Trying out Antix today. The 17 inch iMac is an odd ball re booting (64bit but with 32bit booting) but Antix and MXLinux seem a bit easier.
