I have a Pismo G3, so running Haiku on that would also be of interest to me (and I hadn't seen Tabby-PPC before)... though honestly I'm probably going to keep that machine as the PPC OS X & Classic machine that it is. If I can boot into Haiku from an external drive, then maybe.

Also, don't dismiss what you're capable of with Opus / AI! I keep discovering I'm not being ambitious enough with my AI work. Not that I'm an expert or anything, but the models keep being more capable than I imagine, with enough coaxing. I keep needing to set my sights higher.

I do always find that alternative OSes on PPC Macs are an exercise in going "It worked! Neat." and then going back to the Mac OS. 2026 software on 1999 hardware is always something I appreciate, but it's the Mac's unique "pairing" (lock-in) which gives it value compared to any commodity PC which will run Linux or BSD or Haiku or TempleOS better, and does not run the Mac OS as well.

My LLM experiments have become more ambitious as the tech has improved. Porting a decompiled SNES game to the Dreamcast is the latest (80% complete) victory.
