tle, are you already using Fable, or which model do you use?

Operating Systems and Porting / Re: [NEWS] Bootstrapping native Void Linux (ppc64le) on Talos II
« on: June 13, 2026, 06:26:51 pm »
Void is using lua54-devel.
If you don't need Enlightenment detection, remove efl-devel from the fastfetch template and set -DENABLE_EET=OFF. This should eliminate a large portion of the 608-package dependency tree, including LuaJIT.

cpufetch v1.07 has a little bug, but v1.06 works out of the box.
For fastfetch: LuaJIT is not supported. Lua support is optional.

I don't think that's the reason. AI slop detected.
Why can't you reply to them? Same thing with box64.

Wow. That's a big task. This means, VoidLinux is up and running on ppc64le, again?

That's good to know. Right now, I'm working with an LLM on porting a non-Linux OS. I still need to ask the lead developers if they accept LLM code. But if everything works out, I'll need someone with actual ppc64 hardware for testing. There is already some (old) ppc code available, but I'm doing ELFv2 ABI ppc64 first, then ppc64le, and finally ppc. A PA6T would also be good for testing.

Firefox-ESR (with a minor adjustment) runs here, too.
Chimera Linux
LLVM/Clang, PGO + LTO
Build time = 12h
JetStream 3 score:
POWER9, 4core = 28
Apple Silicon M1 = 172
Apple Silicon M4 = 255
By the way, here’s a little tip from me. Generating code with AI is one thing, but nobody really wants to chat with an AI on GitHub. That’s really not a good idea.

I don't think Google has ever accepted a ppc64le patch, sadly.

You could do it via QEMU. But yes, you need someone to test. Cameron has the hardware, IIRC.
But yes, it's more important to make it work on le. I dislike Chromium.

tle: ppc64 is POWER8+ only, no PPC970/ PA6T?

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.
