Same. Was expecting polished Debian-based OS for ppc architecture machines. Shucks.

I would expect Raptor folks to contribute upstream to firmware, the Linux kernel, bootloaders and Debian itself, not make a fork just for their own machines. The Debian ppc64el architecture is an official release architecture so Debian supports those machines quite well already.

That's a fair point. I guess watching System76 PopOS has biased my thinking.

The existence of PopOS is pretty disappointing to me, they should instead be offering a choice of preinstalled distros, contributing to those distros and sponsoring those distros.
