The beauty here is that PowerPC is still alive, well, and fairly well supported. My current build is running Lubuntu, a lightweight flavor of Ubuntu. I was able to revive that PowerPC Mac running Linux. However, I’m here to tell you that even a 2005 PowerBook G4 can still run modern operating systems, with some TLC and tinkering. When that happens, you might think you’re out of luck and need to retire what used to be an excellent machine. The main challenge you’ll run into with older hardware is that Apple considers it obsolete and stops supporting it.
