I can share the feeling, despite my UNIX related rants, there were quite a few I actually enjoyed working on, Solaris was one of them.

Still own several Sun CDs they used to give away to developers.

You can always install OpenIndiana and use it. It’s been a while I don’t use it, but I gather it’s still a worthy daily driver (plus, Teams, Slack, Outlook, and others simply don’t have installable apps for it.

It isn't the same thing as running on Sun hardware, specially if one cares about graphics programing.

I never used Suns that way, but I assume any modern gaming desktop can run rings around their fanciest Ultra.

What they can’t do as well as a deskside Ultra Enterprise is to look impressive.
