Hi All,
Canonical has released the final ISO images of Ubuntu
18.04 (Bionic Beaver) [1] [2] [3] [4]. Unfortunately Canonical removed the PowerPC architecture last year. Consequently Canonical will not releasing PowerPC images for the version 18.04. Ubuntu MATE 16.04 will continue to support 32-bit PowerPC until 2019 and Canonical will offer security updates for the version 16.04 until 2021. The latest LTS release is
16.04.4 [5]. Fortunately we have a fork of the last ubuntu MATE (17.04), which I have updated and released as the MATE PowerPC Remix 2017. Today, I released the version
0.9 of the MATE PowerPC Remix 2017.
