Hello everyone
these guys are trying to do what you can read on the site. There is a fundraiser for this purpose.

Power PC can bring us to FSF approval at some point, sad that gpu initialization is proprietary so far

I got finally Gnu Vulkan NVK on PowerPC,9 LE on GnuLinux. Big Milestone.

I Love PowerPC and GNU :heart_decoration:

Gnu icecat 153esr may support JIT,WASM to PPCLE, however my real dream is Gnu icecat PPCBE.

At the moment i just have Netsurf on PPCBE, and very soon Arctic which will enable me to watch videos on browser and webgl and more…

I got finally nir gles2 on powerpc big endian plus 64k so i just kick out llvmpipe from powerpc. Looking foward for nir gles3…

It is a dream.

Kick out llvmpipe and enabled only nvk,zink by default on PowerPC Raptor, mesa 26.1.2.
So this my first time that i feel real vulkan power on stk and ppc.
First contact with Mesa megadrivers too.


sent from gnu icecat on powerpc. sadly still little endian on raptor. = (

Despite my fascination with PowerPC, i still not tested the superpower: WOF
