Multiple Linux releases quietly give up support for PowerPC

Linux has always had excellent hardware support. Many of the oldest Linux operating systems have been used for Linux support. However, I recently learned that, due to the relationship between user groups and usage frequency, multiple Linux releases have quietly abandoned support for PowerPC. As a result, PowerPC users will lose support for the latest mainstream Linux (maybe most PPC users are still using Apple's operating system, instead of switching to Linux)

So far, three major Linux distributions have abandoned
Supported. Here, opensuse gave up its support for this architecture not long ago, and Fedora will also be available in the next version, namely fedora.

The architecture is supported. There is no announcement or press release, and nothing is explained. Opensuse released three months ago
11.2 only includes x86-64 and i386, but the image on its official download page still contains the PPC logo.

In an interview, opensuse maintenance personnel said: "The Linux release only has some market-oriented changes. Our use data shows that less than 1% of users have PPC. The problem is not that the number of PPC users is lower than before, but it is meaningless to continue to invest resources to maintain PPC ."

Ubuntu is the only Linux operating system officially announced that it does not support PowerPC.
