Epiphany on Powermac G5 Linux

November 27, 2025 — Jan Montag

I just played around a little bit and found out that Gnome Browser Project Epiphany (Gnome Web) is also installable within Arch Linux for PowerPC on my Ppwermac G5. I tried out just to see that it works. But it soon crashes, because OpenGL Rendering is broken. But when you start the Browser in a Terminal with the URL behind, like this:

epiphany https://de.wikipedia.org

than it starts and renders the website and it is pretty usable. Here is a small screenshot I just took:

My other website renders in Epiphany PPC64 on my Powermac G5

I write about this because with Gnome Web, wich is based on Webkit, which is another Rendering Engine and Firefox also available for PowerPC Linux, we have two of the three Rendering-Engines (that still exists) also for PowerPC Linux. Big Endian. Big Great!
