An x86_64 package is available.

Download: github.com

I am more interested in a 64-bits PowerPC build. The x86-64 world has enough browsers to choose from.

I am more interested in a 64-bits PowerPC build. The x86-64 world has enough browsers to choose from.

I use this x86_64 package for old multimedia CD-ROMs with HTML and JavaScript. They work better with Arctic Fox than with Firefox, Edge etc. For example old language course CD-ROMs.

I don't have access to a PPC64 distribution currently.

I have an image of MintPPC64, as well as the brand new LMDE 6 PPC64. The latter uses more recources, it was built for the Mirari board. It needs to be tested. One caveat, I don’t want this LMDE 6 PPC64 to be shared like you usually do in this forum. I want to sell this distribution for a small price. My website costs money, I need to get some money back in return for that and the huge amount of time I invest in this stuff.

Many thanks for your work!

Unfortunately, I don’t have access to a PPC64 machine currently so I can’t test the disk images.

Have you contacted Dave (Skateman) because of your new disk images?

[mintppc]

I contacted Skateman (Dave) indeed. Thank you.
