Interested in your project and would have installed it as a second system on my G5 Quad, only thing lacking is ppc64 distro.

Hello barracuda, since Cirrus CI does not offer PowerPC build machines it is unlikely that we will ever produce helloSystem ISOs for PowerPC, even if we'd like to.

If you are determined enough you can install FreeBSD and then install helloDesktop manually by compiling it from source. Maybe one day pkg install hellodesktop will be sufficient.

@probonopd Thank you. So I can install FreeBSD 13 for ppc64 and on top of it install helloSystem from source? Sounds doable, provided compilation works and does not depend on packages that do not exist for ppc64.

Yes, you should be able to (roughly) follow https://hellosystem.github.io/docs/developer/rpi.
