Operating System Compatibility List
GNU/Linux
| Distribution | Version | Architecture | Reported by | Notes |
| 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). |
| 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 |
| 28 | ppc64 | Sharkcz | test entry | |
| Gentoo | n/a | ppc64le | luke-jr | Once installed, works fine. |
| 17.0 | ppc64 | MarcusC | XFCE4 and virt-manager verified |
