I’m sorry I can’t really provide any specific advice, except to say that I had a lot of problems setting up Linux on my G5 back in the day. I’d been using Linux since the 90’s and had had a pretty good experience with LinuxPPC on my old Motorola Starmax 5500, so I thought I’d try it out on my dual 1.8GHz G5. I tried Ubuntu (back when there was an officially supported PPC version) and a few other distros, and had nothing but problems - particularly with the system fans. Since PPCs are now a small niche market, I doubt the situation has improved. By all means try it out, but adjust your expectations accordingly.
