  1. @codemonkeymike

    @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. (:

  2. Wanted 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...

  3. 🐧 Adélie Linux is an Intriguing Independent Distribution

    「 Unlike numerous other projects, it does not claim to reinvent anything. It just puts forward the goal of POSIX compliance, Libre, user freedom, and privacy 」

  4. Update to the last post, I was able to get a discord bot running on the computer. Hopefully, I can get xfce running next. #adélielinux #linux #retrocomputing #discord #discordbot

  5. Today I ran a moden linux distro on a computer from 2003, I was able to run neofetch on it and compile some basic c++ programs. Sadly I was unable to get Doom and XFCE to run yet. #adélielinux #linux #cplusplus #retrocomputing

  6. Unforutnately, I've had to give up on #AdelieLinux for our old first-generation #MacMini - but I am now installing #Debian PPC Port 11.5 on there ;)

    I'm wondering why I didn't have the success @ActionRetro did. Must be an expired certificate or something :/

    #Linux #install
    #PPC
    #RetroComputing

  7. Try as I might, I can’t get #AdelieLinux on my G4 Mac mini. Even tried changing the installer to allow unsafe stuff.

    Maybe I’ll try in a few days…

  8. #Computing #Linux #AdelieLinux

    Totally blaming @ActionRetro for this, but I've been trying to get Adelie Linux running on a G4 Mac Mini today. Nearly there... Promise.

  9. Adélie Linux.

    In BETA phase now, already intriguing.

    Based on "GNUless" Alpine Linux, but aiming for common desktop use. Userland instead of GNU Core: BusyBox.

    For C standard library, it uses musl, instead of GNU glibc.

    "We do believe that Linux should be usable by anyone, regardless of income level or past computer experience. We don't believe that Linux has to be hard to use."

    Eye on this one.

    Devs state: "We do believe that Linux should be usable by anyone, regardless of income level or past computer experience. We don't believe that Linux has to be hard to use."

    Urged to keep an eye on this one!
