Is morphos (in a pegII G3) too slow for example with MAME
Well that depends ;) Mame is a Arcade Emulator which emulates hardware from the late 70s up to now. And Mame is not exactly a resourcefriendly program ;)
Games like lets say Metal Slug are perfect playable but Rampage2000 (was this the name? The remake on the N64 Arcade Board) is not (ok, it is a problem on the G4 too, but here at least playable). But the more the merrier is definetly true for mame.

or to see photos or divx/dvd?
Well no, Photos are of coure no problem at all, divx will work too, dvd does most likely framedrop on a G3.
However Mos itself is of course fast too.

Linux is a bit slow: just a bit or too slow
It is usable and you can of course allways increase performance with lightweight windowmanager and so on. As allways in the end it depends what you like to do with it.

(...same question for macOS)
Well, as you can see, opinions differ here a bit ;) I d´say it is no fun on a G3, while Magnetic says it is quite usable ;)
However in the End you may cover most stuff with MorphOS and Linux, so lack of Mac OS will be just a little loss.
