“Removal of powerpc as a release architecture”
Sad, but a day everyone knew would come. I totally understand the lack of support for a dead architecture. It&#x27;s not like you can just keep throwing software at these machines and run them fine anyway.<p>I have a 2003-04 era Powerbook with Ubuntu on it. It runs 10.04 just fine, but any newer and it&#x27;s pretty damn slow. Basically the only thing I can do with it now is text based stuff, and not much of it. Some Python, bash C++ etc. Can&#x27;t even really browse the web, because the newer versions of any web browser won&#x27;t run&#x2F;compile.<p>Since I can do all of those same things on my current laptop just fine there&#x27;s no motivation to use the PPC mac other than nostalgia. Imagine how the folks feel trying to support it now?
