Possible to install KDE on Talos II Power9 systems (ppc64el)
by davide445 from LinuxQuestions.org on (#4Q3CC)
Just evaluating the usage of a Power based PC for AI related work.
Raptor Talos II seems to be currently the only available option, apart a costly IBM server.
Pre-configured come with $3999,just purchasing the mobo, cpu and CPU cooler and other parts in the market come down to about $3000 for a 4 core 16 thread CPU, 64GB ECC ram, RTX 2070 Super GPU and 500GB NVMe SSD.
Its possible to install a working Ubuntu 18.04 LTS, but didn't find any reference for installing KDE DE or Kubuntu flavor.
Will be possible, in your opinion?
