Powerbook thread

I just bought a powerbook 12" 1.5ghz

>No botnet
>No specter/metldown
>Open firmware

I paid 70 dollars, did I fuck up.

It takes 40 screws to replace the ssd. (the 2003 state of macfags)

Good luck getting anything relevant to 2018 running on that powerPC dinosaur

At least it looks nice

Install gentoo

I am planning on putting debian stretch on it, they dropped powerpc support, but I should be able to use unstable or testing.
It does look nice desu, I am probably going to miss having a trackpoint when I'm on it though :c
Compiling on a cpu from 2002, desu no. I have things to do.

>instead of my modern PC potentially being slowed 30%, let's run an unstable, barely tested Linux hackfuck on an extremely outdated architecture

STOP

Mah nigga, you got the GOAT laptop. Now upgrade the display with a 1400x1050 IPS panel

Spotify's rather relevant.

Dualboot OpenBSD and Tiger

*2003

>Compiling on a cpu from 2002, desu no. I have things to do.
You don't have a choise. If you want to use relevant software from current year you need to compile it yourself no matter the distro you choose. On gentoo it's just that much easier, and you can even set up a cross compiling distcc to do most of the work on a faster machine

Nice. I got a clean 550 MHz Titanium a few years ago. Its a decent OS9 machine
>hdd removal
Its almost as bad on my 1.33 ibook.
>Compiling on a cpu from 2002, desu no. I have things to do.
Start it and then go to bed. I had it on the iBook for a few weeks and it wasnt too insane. I certainly wouldnt want gentoo as my main OS though.

Desu, the point is I have a laptop that is vulnerability proof.

I have alot of laptops, desu:
>X220(coreboot)
>X60(Libreboot)
>T60(Libreboot)
>T60(its a widescreen model)
>T43
>X61T
Needs some work section:
>T41
>IBM 240
>IBM 380d
>X61(I had 7 of them at one point)
>T601
>T500

Notice that these all are x86

I've only tried freebsd and debian. Is there a large learning curve for openBSD.

Also I don't think there is a 1400x1050 panel for that system.
Couldn't I just use apt-get on debian. They had powerpc support in jessie.
REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
Tbh, I am probably going to go with debian, or a bsd of some sort.

still own a G4 1,67ghz with 2gb ram and the 125mb gpu. a great machine.

If you know your way around Linux OpenBSD shouldn't be too hard
>Also I don't think there is a 1400x1050 panel for that system.
There certainly is. I've been meaning to upgrade mine for a while. HV121P01-100 and HV121P01-101 both work.

i use the black pro keyboard that came with your mouse with my current linux-pc-setup. i also have your white one, but i like the feeling of the black one a little more better.

>applel
>did I fuck up.
Yes.

ebin

:D what os do you have on it desu?
Oh god now I need two of those panels, I think that panel also upgrades the x60.
g5 desu. The powerpc g5 was the apple p4 / faildozer.

The new macbooks are kinda thermal throttling extra-crispy machines.

>:D what os do you have on it desu?
10.5

/thread

Ive never used the black pro keyboard, the weird iMac G3 one i had was nice though.
The white one came with an eMac that is currently half apart and missing a ton of screws. Eventually ill get around to fixing it and the dual 450 that studio display is hooked up to.

Ultimately i want to get a 17" DLSD like just to have one.

>Oh god now I need two of those panels, I think that panel also upgrades the x60.
It literally is a ThinkPad panel, I can't remember if it's for the x60t, x61t, or both.
>The powerpc g5 was the apple p4 / faildozer.
A 130W processor is anything but a housefire. Plus the G5 is still a great processor, I just need a new PSU for my dp 2GHz PowerMac. Upgraded the processors from 970s to 970MPs but the northbridge doesn't support dual-core processors, still get to take advantage of the die shrink.

>It takes 40 screws to replace the ssd. (the 2003 state of macfags)
How will mactoddlers ever recover?

if you stumble upon a black one get it. it's a classic already, from the beginning golden age of apple. i still have the powermac g4 it came with, dualbooting tiger and 9.1.

also, i'm the one with the 15" pb.

Sorry desu, but your in house fire denial. A pentium 4 intel extreme edition draws 115w.

I don't give a flying fuck what the power draw on a P4 Extreme Edition is, my point is that 130W isn't much.

The fx 8350 is 125w.

H O U S E F I R E...

Also doesn't the g4 out perform the g5 at a clock per clock bases. Like the p3 out performed the p4.

>x60t/x61t
Those panels are rareish (them being in a thinkpad will quadruple the price) and the x61t one ahs an issue where it delaminates and gets ugly bubbles. The non-touch variants only came with 1024x768 panelsfti.
Also im guessing they wont be swappable into a late '05 iBook?

>Also doesn't the g4 out perform the g5 at a clock per clock bases
Certainly not.

You can get one from China for like $100 last I checked. Hell, you can even buy them in bulk.
