I am using a PowerPC iMac G5 (1.8ghz) currently with OS X 10.5.8 and a dual boot Lubuntu 14.04.5.
This issue I am running into is artifacts on the screen, no sound and no 3d acceleration as the nouveau drivers do not provide 3d support and there is no drivers available for the Nvidia GeForce 5200FX (64mb) so this is irreversible as far as Ubuntu goes.
I am a fan of Ubuntu based desktops on my PCs, and I was at one time a major freak for all Apple products but my kids need something that can get online without too much tweaking and without hanging to do homework and Linux will completely fill that need.
I am downloading Fedora 16 and 17 for PowerPC.
Can anyone tell me of any issues I should be aware of?
I do not have an airport card but use a wifi dongle instead. Will this work out of the box? Nvidia or compatible drivers? Acceleration issues? Bugs?
I might be out of my depth switching from Ubuntu...
