I guess situation where you are privacy-conscious enough to inspect all the source code up to and including the CPU microcode? There was post in this thread about FreeBSD being available. If there is a Linux kernel for it, then a distribution might be not too far off e.g. Gentoo (I’m not aware of any POWER9 Linux distribution as off yet).

Fedora 28 and up boots directly on the Talos II and should boot on this. I use F28 myself, but the Raptor folks use Debian which I'm told also works well.

There's a PPC handbook for Gentoo: https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Handbook:PPC https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Handbook:PPC Looking around, power9 seems to work fine. For software compatibility it's more a case by case scenario.

Looks like Debian supports POWER9 https://wiki.debian.org/PPC64 https://wiki.debian.org/PPC64
