@Gammitin I still have #YellowDogLinux for the #PS3 somewhere.

• Gotta have to setup #Free60 on the #Xbox360 some day…

@raccoon granted, #Valve did already commit themselves to it being "open like a PC" so they can't sell at a loss. They at least need to break even in terms of cost to avoid businesses like datacenters to go: "Hey, that's pretty good!" and order like 1000+...

• My University did that with the #PS3 and ran them as clusters becaude even tho #YellowDogLinux and any #OtherOS only gets 2 threads, the #Cell was still a competent and affordable #ppc64 machine that one could use #MPI and do #clustering at full blast without breaking a sweat. And mind you #Sony lost out €100+ just in parts cost on every PS3 phat sold at launch because winning the #FormatWar with #BluRay against #HDDVD was more important long-term.

First time I tried #KDE was on… oh shit it was on #YellowDogLinux in the #powerpc days. Looking back I can’t believe it’s now my daily DE, it’s come so far. Congratulations kde!

@GrapheneOS I mean if you have an actual laundry list of points to do then I'm shure they could do it...

• Whether #Fairphone or #shift or anyone else does follow through on those is a different story, but I'd rather not rely on #Google as sole source of supported devices cuz nothing obligates them to enable yozmu if not allowing then to actively prevent #GrapheneOS being flashed if not brick existing installations (like #Sony did with he #OptherOS aka. #YellowDogLinux on the #PS3)...

What the dog doing?

Hey @ActionRetro, are you up for some old Linux shenanigans? I just uploaded the full set of discs for #SuSE #Linux 6.4 for #PowerPC to the Internet Archive. And guess what: the TAM is supported!

This is a distro from May 2000, so it would be a good way to show what the "user experience" on Linux was back then.

I bought it at the time to run on my iMac G3, but I was more used to Red Hat-based distros and soon switched to #LinuxPPC and #YellowDogLinux.
