Kicksecure (clearnet link) can be installed on POWER. These instructions were tested with Kicksecure 17.

First, install Debian Bookworm or Sid for ppc64el or ppc64. If installing in a VM, set the Video Model to Virtio and the Display Type to Spice (source). When installing Debian, do not create a separate root password, name the user user, and for desktop environment either pick XFCE or do not install one. Launch a shell.

Import the Kicksecure signing key (source) (clearnet): 

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
sudo apt-get install --no-install-recommends curl gpg gpg-agent
curl  --tlsv1.3 --output ~/derivative.asc --url https://www.kicksecure.com/keys/derivative.asc
sudo cp ~/derivative.asc /usr/share/keyrings/derivative.asc

Initialize the console group (source) (clearnet): 

sudo addgroup --system console
sudo adduser user console

Add the Kicksecure package repository (source) (clearnet): 

sudo apt-get install apt-transport-tor
echo "deb [signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/derivative.asc] tor+http://deb.w5j6stm77zs6652pgsij4awcjeel3eco7kvipheu6mtr623eyyehj4yd.onion bookworm main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/derivative.list
sudo apt-get update

Then, run one of the following, depending on whether you want Kicksecure to use XFCE or CLI-only, and whether you are installing Kicksecure in a VM or on the host: 

sudo apt-get install --no-install-recommends kicksecure-xfce-host

sudo apt-get install --no-install-recommends kicksecure-xfce-vm

sudo apt-get install --no-install-recommends kicksecure-cli-host

sudo apt-get install --no-install-recommends kicksecure-cli-vm

If you get a package conflict error that mentions console-common, run the following and then try again: 

sudo apt-get install --no-install-recommends console-common

If you get prompted about choosing the default display manager during package installation, choose gdm3 (source) (clearnet).

If you get prompted with other questions during package installation, you can choose the defaults.

The Kicksecure packages will install their own sources.list data in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/debian.list. If you're using Bookworm, that means you should clear the sources.list that Debian came with (in order to avoid warnings from apt-get about duplicated repos): 

sudo rm /etc/apt/sources.list
sudo touch /etc/apt/sources.list
sudo rm /etc/apt/sources.list.d/backports.list

On Trixie or higher, the Kicksecure sources.list is nonfunctional, so you should clear it instead: 

sudo rm /etc/apt/sources.list.d/debian.list
sudo touch /etc/apt/sources.list.d/debian.list

Run the following to work around a bug that breaks subsequent package updates (source) (clearnet): 

sudo mkdir -p /etc/dist-base-files.d/
echo "set +e" | sudo tee /etc/dist-base-files.d/50_user.conf

Reboot the machine; Kicksecure installation is complete.
