What a pity :( I was in Vancouver 2 weeks ago. If I have checked the forums, I would have bought it from you.

Everything works as expected

Applications and Porting / [GFX] Alternatives to Adobe suites
« on: October 07, 2026, 07:34:13 pm »
ArtCraft (https://getartcraft.com) might be what Linux desktop is missing, a true graphic pipeline suites for professionals. For years I have heard about how lacking / incompatible of OSS graphic softwares from the professional camp. One would never expect Adobe would ever support Linux or UNIX *again* (they did have Adobe Photoshop and bunch of other softwares in the early 90s for SGI computers). So when an OSS player like ArtCraft appears out of nowhere, this surely might cause a ripple in the industry. I am going to try to compile the software on ppc64le and get one of my artist friend (whose setup is on mac) to try it out.

It's been awhile, the xe driver is now known to support RISCV and ARM64. AFAIK it's seems to me it should work with ppc64le too. Can anyone please confirm?

It looks like an affordable solution to extend my storage. I have just placed an order from Aliexpress, let's see how it turns out

Btw compiling Firefox can kill the box with OOM, it would be the best to enable systemd-oomd OR simply run it with a session capped with memory cgroup `systemd-run --user --scope -p MemoryMax=8G` for example

@MauryG5 could you please submit a bug ticket on Debian side and CC Timothy Pearson? Many thanks

In theory it should work with G5. Because of lacking of real hardware, I have been testing the build by forcing mcpu=970 compilation flag on my Blackbird box. That means it is very likely some components would omit this flag and compile with the native power8/9 compilation flags. carlosgonz has been helping me testing on his real hardware and so far things are kinda okay... The JIT JS shell works but there are still many issues with rendering / features which I hope one day I could get to the bottom of it.

Has anyone tried to run chromium 154.0.8037.92-1 on Fedora 44 lately? On my side it no longer start.

EDIT: Lodged https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2546551

1)  Endianess issues on top-bar browser-buttons as you can see on image, the buttons stay white than black.
2) Power9,10,8 patch is conflict to power5 patchset, so this make firefoxppcbe-on-power5 hung on booting after get compiled because nss-vsx  binaries.. Firefoxppc64be autoenable and force  NSS / *  by makefile to use hash-sha512-and-mcrypto hard accel vsx on power5 compilation. So nss by hard-accel  /  mcrypto only supported by vsx which power5 lack,  however i not sure if firefox nss mcrypto hash-sha512 is compatible  to power-4.5.6.7 vmx hard accel requirements, but it will be nice to support full nss/ to vmx even vmx-emulated than software.
So all the problem about is from here:  security/nss/lib/freebl

1) That theming issue only impact BE variant (which is not supported nor tested by Mozilla team). It is unrelated to my JIT work. Having said that I am going to try my best to see if I could find out why and lodge a bug ticket with Mozilla
EDIT: I think I found the root cause. The RenderCompositorSWGL has issue on BE
EDIT: I've fixed the issue, you can simply download the updated patches from GitHub Releases

2) I will see what I could do

nodejs npm still not available on debian sid ppc64 which Firefox-BE is asking on compile.

Yes i can access you to my powermac-g5.

You could use nodejs in the PPC64LE box to workaround that, the PR description has full instructions

please send me the access details via Private Messages

So i not get completed the FF_BE compile on PowermacG5 because missing a lot dependencies on debian powerpc, however i started the FF_LE test build on raptor-blackbird before to patch and build my favorite browser gnu icecat. I will report any news abouts.

Today also compiled gnu gnulinux 7.2 to test nouveau on 64kpagesize support, which still do not  work from promised 6.18, it just fixed the panic so no more freeze but still no video but i also checking if it need a special libdrm version on compile, just in case.

I have no real hardware G5 to test. However I could assure you that it compiles successfully on Debian Sid running in VM on my raptor blackbird box. Have you read the `Build` section in PR description https://github.com/runlevel5/firefox-ppc64/pull/2

If you do not mind, please grant me access to your G5, my public key is https://gist.github.com/runlevel5/82a44eefa9239b627605f86f3c337919 I will see what I could help
