I honestly don’t like using most Openstreetmap websites: slow, clunky. Is there a better way to do this faster on my own desktop?

KDE Marble might be able to do it. Looks like it can open some OSM file type at least.

Are there any Foss globe apps?

Marble. It’s a KDE app, and it looks very similar to the Google Earth app.

I believe in the latter case they are signed.

Not PBF but KDE Marble can display OSM XML directly. But it’s quite slow. The other option is to download the PBF and render tiles from it which it can then display.
