Installation process starts at 3:52. Click "show more" below for handy links if you want to try the install yourself!

Today we're installing a modern Linux on a 1999 iMac G3 revision D, the fastest version of the original iMac. We're using Adelie Linux, a relatively new distro that has PowerPC 32 bit as a first-class install target.

I used the Beta 4 "full" PPC ISO: https://distfiles.adelielinux.org/adelie/1.0-beta4/iso/

If you're going to try this, it's helpful to have these four pages handy:

* Adelie manual install guide: https://wiki.adelielinux.org/wiki/HOWTO:Manually_install_Ad%C3%A9lie_Linux
* Adelie GRUB2 page: https://wiki.adelielinux.org/wiki/Package:GRUB2
* Arch install page for partitioning: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Installation_guide#Partition_the_disks
* mac-fdisk instructions: http://www.alaska.net/~erbenson/doc/mac-fdisk-basics.txt
The RC1 ISO didn't work for me, and I've read that Linux kernel 5+ has issues on some PowerPC. The live environment would just boot part way with some weird errors.
