Looks like the Debian folks are treating the ppc crowd for the new year already - with Debian 12 - happy new year! No iso yet BUT as of yesterday installing the latest Debian ppc64 image (20220328) with the latest sources (using mate so far in my hands) not now only results in kernel version 6 being installed but Debian 12 altogether :cool:

I don't know if gnome for Debian 12 is ready though and it does look like it's still work in progress though, e.g. several deps seem to be broken e.g. libstdc++6 v12 is not detected as >=11 by many older deps so I would advise backing up any debian 11 installation and proceed with caution, unless someone else has upgraded without any trouble already?

Cheers,
I see Deb 12 MATE on an Apple Display!!!! I have both a G4 and G5 I’ve tried to install Deb 12 on but cannot get it to play nice with the Apple Displays, just a black screen. The G4 has an Nvidia GeForce4 MX and the G5 has a Radeon 9600 XT. Any hints as to how to get the Deb install to drive these would be awesome!!
