I did the second option, but may be not extensive enough as it was not
that important. I just recalled I did this when this topic came up and
hoped somebody here already done this and knows.

And it doesn't need to be Amix, because although the latest release dates
from 1992, the license says "Proprietary".

Any UNIX- or Linux-like OS for the Amiga will do. "Free" preferred. It's
not that I will works with it every day, let alone doing business with
it. Just just want to play with it for a short time. Like I do with OS-9
(not the one from Apple, see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OS-9) I run on
an emulated TRS-80 Color Computer. That's what I'm after.

Btw. are you using a BBS to post here? I try to identify some of the
lines of you header here. Cool. :-)
