Will updating from 12.04 to 14.04 break my power pc installation? - Ask Ubuntu


i have installed ubuntu 12.04 unity work on powerbook 1.67 ghz g4. aware support run out next april 12.04 working hardware. updater prompting me upgrade 14.04 know hardware not supported in 14.04 unity server, lubuntu or mate. question happen if choose update? break installation? if how? still have cli can install gnome or gui?

i can confirm lubuntu 14.04 installation on powerpc g5 worked more or less out of box, give or take few things (eg sound). @ first attempted install ubuntu unity desktop (14.04), , not past splash screen/login manager. still had access cli via tty (ctrl-alt-f1 etc) however. in end powerpc not supported unity aborted , went lubuntu, , have since upgraded 16.04.

so best guess upgrading 14.04 may break unity, not system. may depend on graphics card; have nvidia card , have been struggling nouveau driver, , if have ati card might have better luck. changing lighter desktop environment such lxde should @ least leave usable system, if graphics being rendered cpu. again if unity working in 12.04, maybe work in 14.04.. might worth finding out! ;)
