I was looking for versions of Linux to use on some old iBooks I have. Does anyone know any decent versions of Linux that will work on PowerPC? They don’t need to be modern, just anything that will work with an iBook G3.

You can go back to Lubuntu 14.04.5 LTS (for the rest of its lifespan). It's relatively easy to set up and I've never had any problems with.

 

There should be several options for a PowerPC install.

My profile picure is real. That's what I look like in real life. I'm actually a blue and white African Wild Dog.

Every Debian release is available for powerpc, including the most recent ones (although Debian is more focused on stability than bleeding edge).

Don't ask to ask, just ask... please 🤨
