trying to get anyone to care about the fact that FreeBSD 15.0 is about to be released and the installer doesn't boot on powerpc64le (pSeries / PowerNV) is surprisingly difficult.

re@ is now pestering people to fix it under the threat of declaring it an unsupported platform for the release, but that doesn't seem to be having much effect.

It took an embarrassing amount of time, but I was finally able to get Linux installed and running on my old G4 iMac so I can use it as a terminal to access my home servers!

Wow, running this on my #OpenBSD#PowerPc#Macmini#G4

I saw the YouTube recommendation, but i seldom get the "hype"
Then a friend gave me the link

Seems very interesting.
