OpenBSD has hands down the best PowerPC support out there. I still use a
G4 as an ssh/serial terminal / network scanning machine and another dual
cpu G4 as a small webserver. They just wont quit and have found no
reason to migrate to something else. It even handles my secondary
softraid crypto drive like a boss as well. 10/10 support for packages
too. Anything I need within reason is just a quick pkg_add away. No
compiling, no screwing around. Oh thank heaven for OpenBSD. It Just Works

That is why I use OpenBSD. I have built packages on my PPC machines with Gentoo
Linux and can confirm you may need a few cups :-)

I am running OpenBSD on a PB G4. It runs pretty well.

Hi!!
I tested also with ubuntu ppc64 and works very fine, also Freebsd 11.1
(currently testing now )
With ubuntu 16 I have problem with Nvidia driver I can not start correctly,
only frame buffer but with Ubuntu and Freebsd I did not have any error with
Disk and memory is ok. I will test Fedora later ..
Do you know if openbsd works fine in powerbook g4 1.67ghz and Mac mini 1.2ghz
models also Apple Airport Extreme A1408 5th /6th Gen , I do not know if it a
good choice use those kind of router I do not know about those old model.

I have the machine not here.
Yeah i know about it running in 32bit-mode, but even then it should be
able
to use more than 1,6G right?
I have an iBook G4 that has a max RAM of 1,5G on hardware-basis which
makes
sense and all, but on a G5?!
Also, did you see his dmesg? :)

Hello !
I also can't use more than 1,6G of RAM, although there's more in
the
machine.
That is normal (I have here 2 DP G5s) because OpenBSD runs only in
32
bit mode (even the G5 is a 64 bit CPU). See
https://www.openbsd.org/macppc.html section History. The max RAM in
the G4 (G3 less) was 2 GB see
https://everymac.com/systems/apple/powermac_g4/specs/powermac_g4_450.html
as example.
