I mean, you'd have expected that of Solaris and Sun's hardware, too, but that didn't make Solaris on Sun workstations compelling enough to actually survive. That argument seems like a variation on one of the myths mentioned in these posts: https://utcc.utoronto.ca/~cks/space/blog/unix/PCsAreUnixWorkstations https://utcc.utoronto.ca/~cks/space/blog/unix/PCsAreUnixWork... https://utcc.utoronto.ca/~cks/space/blog/unix/WorkstationMythology https://utcc.utoronto.ca/~cks/space/blog/unix/WorkstationMyt... In short, I'm not sure IBM Power machines have any special hardware, and if they do, I'm reasonably sure Linux supports it. It is, after all, a smaller and more stationary target than the weird crap that ended up inside and hooked to commodity PCs that Linux ended up supporting.
