On MacRumors PPC section alone you see it a lot, for instance.<br /><br />Regardless, is what you said applicable to Talos II and Debian 10? Little endian 64-bit PPC is one of the main Debian architectures today.

Nobody is using Debian on PowerPC, because nobody cares enough to build a Kernel with UMS, so we can actually have a functional desktop.

Though the only blob-free, libre-able distro for PowerPC/POWER that has been fully released, so far, is Debian. Nothing else. Yet people prioritize using almost every other distro. They don't care.<br /><br />Regardless, the world owes you all sorts of favors for all the great work you always did and do, Cameron.
