@killyourfm I believe @ActionRetro was able to run #AdelieLinux on a very similar computer.
@mrmasterkeyboard @hexaheximal In terms of architectures I'm mostly limited by time, hardware that I have access to and toolchain support.
If @musl / #musl (or rather the
musl-crossbinaries) and #toybox as well as #Linux and #Clang / #LLVM or #GCC support go and #boot is documented porting is relatively "easy"…_OS/1337OFC doesn't have much to it so compared to #AdelieLinux, it should be straightforward.
#OS1337 on #Xenon is quite low on the list but still not on the bottom because I have systems in my possession. Unlike "normal" #32bit #PowerPC systems.
- Mind you I have exactly 0 "#PowerSaving" or other energy optimizations in
_OS/1337(or even multithreading) support built-in, which on most modern systems results in dogshit performance below rated base clock because modern CPUs and Chipsets expect the OS to communicate with them and if it doesn't they gonna assume the OS is fubar and drop into failsafe modes. With some luck they may even prevent the CPU from frying itself and turn on the fan on their own.
I don't have much hands-on aside from mainstream #ix86 / #x86 / #amd64 Systems and #ARMv5r11 / #ARM64 SBCs.

@gettie @chesheer Sadly not even #AdelieLinux, which @ActionRetro uses all the time...
I am working on an #i486 distro ( @OS1337) but for #i386 the support in terms of Linux ended with Versions 3.4.99 LTS & 3.6.9 respectably, and my #userland & #toolchain (#toybox & #musl-cross) doesn't support that at all, and I'd propably have more success convincing @landley to join #OS1337 than to support i386 even if I could pay him for that!
@thomas_mathoi Zumal selbst uralte #i586 - #Macs noch genug Dampf unterm Hintern haben dass damit noch was anzufangen ist.
- Und wenn die Hardware selbst für #BunsenLabs / @bunsenlabs / #BunsenLabsLinux zu lahm ist dann ist die wieder soweit "vintage" dass es sich lohnt die entweder als "Vintage Macs" an Sammler zu verkaufen oder gleich #AdelieLinux draufzupacken...

@ActionRetro has several videos demonstrating modern Linux on late-PowerPC-era Macs. I think #adelielinux is the best bet, currently.
Otherwise, #OpenBSD and #NetBSD will certainly run on it. (:
SuperIluWanted to try #AdelieLinux on my old AMD K6, but despite the requirements are met the X-Server does not start.
Tried with a Matrox G400 and a GeForce2...
Alanna 🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️Ooh, nice, I think I will try this distro out now! I have been eyeing it for a while.

Timo the timoI would like to make sure a program I'm working on works properly on Big Endian systems, but I don't have any hardware with a Big Endian processor, so I've been looking a little bit into #qemu system emulation.
My current state is I'm trying to boot into an #adelielinux. A default installation did not work because it doesn't create an HFS or HFS+ partition for /boot and install-grub (or something related) complain about that. So I manually created the partitions and mount points in the installer and the closest to "not an error" i can get for booting is this:
"Trying to load: from: /vdevice/v-scsi@71000003/disk@8000000[...]00:2,\yaboot ... slash not found" followed by "E3405: No such device".
And I'm not sure what might be wrong exactly. Anything else I've tried so far instead gives "No such device" with less output before it.
No clue if Adelie even has #yaboot.
I'm very open for other suggestions how to get some kind of #BigEndian 64bit linux to do some compiling and running of code on, please ...
