Debian is the most robust PowerPC distro I've used.

Any of them. Then sell that screen and it's conveter box to some collector on ebay for $70

Apple stopped selling PPC Mac in 05, and Debian is dropping PPC support in Stretch.

ElementaryOS with selfmade PowerPC-Kernel.

You'd better be happy with plain vanilla whatever Linux you get.
I haven't been able to find a working repo on any distro I tried.

Good luck. I was surprised to hear it's actually a bitch to install alternative os besides windows on those things.

Not OP, but...
Nope, easy as hell. I even have a pair of MacPro 1,1's running ESXi 5.5 booting from USB drives. (because I could, mostly)
Debian, Ubuntu, CentOS, they all just work.

It'll probably run El Capitan, so just go with that. It's recent enough
