That's true. But not too long ago, Pearson donated hardware to another project. It's not that far-fetched.
I'm curious to see if there will even be a Power12. And the Power11 is really just a Power10+.

Why not ping Pearson?
Maybe he is willing to donate hardware to him.

There is AntiDrv.

* Our patch includes a brand new OpenGL 3.3 / ES 3.0 renderer, AntiDrv. This renderer outperforms the original OpenGLDrv on most platforms, adds new features (e.g., shader-based gamma/color correction), implements/fixes several features that were missing/broken in the original OpenGLDrv (e.g., gradient projectors and weightmap terrain rendering), makes features that were previously nvidia/amd-exclusive available on all platforms (e.g., CO_AlphaBlend_With_Mask combiners), and it can serve as a reference implementation for other new renderers

ReleaseNotes

But there is a Vulkan renderer for Unreal Tournament (UT99) repo.

At least this time it's not an amdgpu bug: https://lists.ozlabs.org/pipermail/linuxppc-dev/2026-March/293448.html

Unfortunately, I can confirm the regression on Chimera Linux.

CUDA was a thing on ppc64le.

Regarding ROCm I found this repo. It also has Nvidia/ CUDA patches. But it's all VibeCoding. Let's see where this leads.

Yes, prices have to go down, too. But maybe we will have more options in the future

You only have to add (last line):
[[Category:Ports]]

or

[[Category:Ports/Games]] (for e. g. Games)

tle, for all the porting efforts, maybe to make a porting wiki page like this:
https://wiki.raptorcs.com/wiki/Category:Ports

Maybe more people will recognize.
I also posted your ioquake3 call on GitHub in the Talos IRC.
