Installing debug symbols for #firefox #ppc64. Yes, that‘s 1GB data. Let‘s see if this fits in RAM.

@sassageflare well, that's why I I'd use a #PCIe "#Sideplane" [#Backplane] because this way one can freely choose between #amd64 / #ARM64, #SPARCv9, #ppc64 and #riscv64 for their Host System....

But admittedly, modern high-end systems are kinda "boring"...

first experimental big endian #powerpc #ppc64 iso is available: https://repo.chimera-linux.org/live/testing/chimera-linux-ppc64-LIVE-20230620-gnome.iso

here is it running from usb on my 2005 #powermac g5

keep in mind it's a tier 3 architecture, so don't expect perfection

the repo is now experimentally available (tier 3) on big endian #ppc64 #powerpc, for now outside the common infra (thanks @AdelieLinux for the compute resources necessary for the initial repo build, they were most helpful)

buildbot, isos, (maybe 32-bits too?) etc. coming soon

currently bootstrapping the system for #ppc64 (big endian)

minimum cpu is #powerpc 970 (G5); altivec required (this may change in longer term)

32-bit was tested but put on the back burner due to some toolchain issues (may be reevaluated later)

Ya que tengo @netbsd@twitter.com instalado en mi #pinebook #a64 @thepine64@twitter.com voy a intentar instalar netbsd también en mi #powermac g5 dual #ppc64
Ahora lo tengo con @gentoo@twitter.com ppc64 pero no hay binarios precompilados y es un coñazo compilar desde cero todo…

First #ppc64 patch for #guix submitted!

There's a ton of work needed for the ppc64 platform in guix.

#power9

I would love to run FreeBSD for #PowerPC64 on my Power Macintosh G5 dual-proc. I fear that most of the ports will be little-endian, but there is some hope here for big-endian #ppc64 systems. #powerpc
