There is no such thing as a stupid question.

I'll drop off an Apple II plus if you are nearby.

1.) Emulation

KEGS

https://kegs.sourceforge.net/

Mac: Virtual II

https://www.virtualii.com/

Wine: AppleWin

and so many more emulators.

2.) Info sources

https://macgui.com/usenet/

https://www.applefritter.com/tracker

https://old.reddit.com/r/apple2/

and so many more websites.

3.) What's the thing with OSes?

The beauty of the 8-bit era was a lack of OSes. Boot up instantly to a
prompt.
Apple DOS, USCD Pascal, ProDOS, CP/M are simple file systems with ways to
launch programs.

4.) Any good sources from where software can be obtained?
