It is first experimental release, for 64-bit big-endian ( Powermac G5 ). I am not tested, if it can be run with xeno74's kernelsfirst experimental big endian #powerpc #ppc64 iso is available: https://repo.chimera-linux.org/live/tes ... -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

FYI:
If you need some packages then try to download it as soon as possible.

Re: Void Linux
Is the follow up Chimera affected or here to stay?
Re: Void Linux
Chimera isn't a successor of Void. It is a new Linux distribution.

XscreenSaver instead of MATE Screensaver:
One click to activate it in the background. It would start after some minutes without activity. With the second click it starts immediately.
Code: Select all
kill $(ps ax | grep mate-screensaver | head -1 | sed s/^[[:space:]]*// | cut -d " " -f 1) ; xscreensaver & xscreensaver-command -activate

A radio software for TV cards is also available for Void PPC now.xeno74 wrote: ↑Wed May 10, 2023 9:50 am
Hi All,
There isn't a TV card software available for Void PPC. Therefore I created a TVtime package for Void PPC today.
Download: TVtime_1.0.11_linux-powerpc.tar.gz
Installation:
- Unpack the package and create the directory /usr/share/tvtime with the following command:
Code: Select all
sudo mkdir /usr/share/tvtime
- After that copy the font tvtimeSansBold.ttf to the directory /usr/share/tvtime/ with the following command:
Code: Select all
sudo cp usr/share/tvtime/tvtimeSansBold.ttf /usr/share/tvtime/
- Then you can start TVtime with ./tvtime.
