Not everything is bug-free, so you might want to the check also Fixes in Progress about the state of their upstreaming.
GNU/Linux
| Distribution | Version | Architecture | Reported by | Notes |
| Adélie | 1.0-beta1 | ppc64 | awilfox | Needs the easy-kernel-power8 package instead of easy-kernel. KDE 5 is stable. Firefox occasionally crashes when context-clicking. |
| Debian | 10 (2018-05-28 weekly DVD ISO) | ppc64le | JeremyRand | Seems to work fine. KDE crashes occasionally, but that might be unrelated to running it on POWER9. Works fine as a KVM host via virt-manager (tested with Debian 10 as the guest). Be warned that the installer will enable the contrib repos (without your knowledge or consent), which is bad from a software freedom standpoint. |
| 10 | ppc64 | awilfox | Only tested in KVM-PV. Using Adélie easy-kernel as kernel, Debian Buster userland. | |
| 9.5.0 | ppc64le (inside KVM; machine type = pseries) | JeremyRand | Seems to work fine with KDE. Default version of Linux works fine. Be warned that the installer will enable the contrib repos (without your knowledge or consent), which is bad from a software freedom standpoint. However, running dpkg-query -W -f='${Section}\t${Package}\n' | grep ^contrib (see this Stack Exchange answer) suggests that no actual packages from the contrib repos are installed by default, so you should be able to disable the contrib repos after installation without ever being exposed to contrib-packaged software.
| |
| 9 | ppc64le | nashimus | Requires 4.16 or newer kernel. Installed Debian testing net install, set apt sources to Debian stable and downgraded, keeping 4.16 kernel. Most VMs failed to boot before updating qemu to 2.12.0. | |
| Fedora | 28 | ppc64le | Sharkcz | only bare metal verified for now, you might want to enable SharkCZ's COPR repo for not-yet-upstreamed updates |
| 28 | ppc64le | nashimus | May need to manually specify inst.stage2, during install. Workaround Bug | |
| 28 | ppc64 | Sharkcz | discontinued in Fedora 29 | |
| Gentoo | n/a | ppc64le | luke-jr | Once installed, works fine. |
| 17.0 | ppc64 | MarcusC | XFCE4 and virt-manager verified | |
| Whonix (clearnet link) | 14 | ppc64le | JeremyRand | Appears to work fine when the Whonix instructions are followed; host OS used for testing was Debian 10. |
Ports in progress
Rapid progress is being made on these ports by members of the community.
