gollark: <@336962240848855040> You asked about a POWER ISA server: you actually can but it's very expensive. There's a company called Raptor Computing Systems or something which sells POWER9 CPUs and boards.
gollark: Alpine Linux (https://www.alpinelinux.org/) perhaps, I've used that before.
gollark: It's kind of annoying that we apparently can't just standardize on ext4 or something instead of exFAT, but Windows doesn't support it...
gollark: I see.
gollark: I mostly use it for running .NET stuff on Linux and it's honestly not very reliable for that.
