You want a computer, run IBM pc software on the Amiga. Since the

Well yes.
I have some hope that AROS might reach a more usable state and run
natively on the Raspberry Pi.
Linux is still UNIX?, which is a complicated OS which requires a lot
of maintenance, whereas children kept Amigas running for years. AROS
on a ?25/$30 computer could be a good fun/educational toy OS for kids.
