Keeping POWER relevant in the open source world 5 years ago
My experience using Voidlinux, on a Raptor POWER9 system, has been excellent. The software support has just gotten better and better. It would be a shame to lose this momentum.
Affordability and availability are major pain points. I've shared my excitement about OpenPOWER with many and their excitement evaporates when they are told what a modest system costs.
I am strong believer in FOSS and fully open owner controlled hardware. I think this is far more important than it appears at first glance. It sounds like tinfoil hat stuff, but the reality is we're backed into a corner. The less control owners/users have, the more vulnerable they are.
