Q4OS might be perfect for PowerPC

I've been running this Linux distro in a VM, and it's pretty damn impressive, and ultra light. It's Debian stable based, and comes with either Plasma or Trinity as the DE. And check out the requirements:

Plasma desktop - 1GHz CPU / 1GB RAM / 5GB disk
Trinity desktop - 300MHz CPU / 128MB RAM / 3GB disk

I searched the forum and couldn't find even one post about it, so I just wanted to spread the word. It's currently only available on x86 and ARM, but I think a non-official PowerPC build would be pretty amazing if that ever happens.

A good overview of it:

That's where open source comes in. And why several PowerPC developers still compile browsers for the architecture. So you're wrong.

I've been meaning to give compiling Trinity on ppc a try. I loved KDE 3 so I dig Trinity as well. And I agree Q4OS is a nice little distro.

That would be amazing. And a great trend I've noticed... KDE DE's have gotten so much lighter over the last few years. Back around 2012 or so it was a total hog. How thing have changed!

Well, this proves that KDE devs are devs and not some bunch of GNOME monkeys, who only can cut features .
