Debian is available for POWER9. This means you'll have at least KVM so you can run nearly anything on top of that including Windows VMs with PCI-passthrough for gaming,etc. The cost is non-trivial but I've been working up my nerve to pull the trigger and go this route.

KVM + Windows requires x86(-64) hardware. POWER9 and windows means QEMU, which is emulation and slow.
