I’m stumped as to why Debian 7.11 is the last that works on the eMac G4’s out of the box... any reason why compatibility broke between 7.11 and 8.10 (and likewise later releases like Buster)? The same issue plagues the Ubuntu releases after 12.04 LTS. Any help would be appreciated as I would like to try a distribution based on Buster without this turn-off of an issue. -Alex Sent from my iPad

Jessie is the last supported Debian distro ported on PowerPC 32 bits. Ubuntu being based on Debian do not support PowerPC 32 bits anymore. I just verified: FeeBSD, NetBSD and OpenBSD, all have a PowerPC 32 bits version of their last OS.
