-[The GNU/Linux PowerPC notebook project](https://www.powerpc-notebook.org/en/) aims to produce a PowerPC powered notebook.
-While the project is in its early design stages, they have already released the schema of the [PBC](https://www.powerpc-notebook.org/2019/12/pcb-for-an-happy-new-year/) and they have showed up a [devkit](https://www.flickr.com/photos/free-software-center/49128563727/) at the SFScon19.

-PowerPC is the most modern processor architecture to date:
+PowerPC is one of the most modern processor architectures to date:
-* X86 – year 1978
-* MIPS – year 1981
-* ARM – year 1983
-* PowerPC – year 1991 (most recent)
+* X86-1978
+* MIPS-1981
+* ARM-1983
+* PowerPC-1991
-As such, it's not affected by many of the limitations of the other architectures and it's much more efficient in terms of power consumption, making it a perfect CPU for embedded devices, laptops till high performance computing clusters.
+PowerPC is not not encumbered by the limitations backwards compatibility brings, hasn't seen the slew of silicon exploits of for example X86_64 as of late. It is quite efficient in terms of power consumption, making its way into even embedded devices, laptops and high performance computing clusters.
-Its [open design](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_ISA) and its whole modern specification could be a game changer in the Intel, AMD and ARM monopoly, a game where everyone of us can do something to push it at a step further.
+The [open design](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_ISA) and its whole modern specification brings a fresh take on the Intel, AMD and ARM monopoly, and now everyone can do something to push it at a step further.
-It's extremely important to help this project reaching the production level, if they win, others will follow their example and produce other amazing products. If they fail, we all fail.
+Hopefully this project can be funded to production, and others follow their example. The opposite is a business as usual of predicitive failure.
-There are many ways to help, [joining](https://www.powerpc-notebook.org/join/) the project is the most efficient way, but you can also support them donating money through their [donation campaign](https://www.powerpc-notebook.org/campaigns/donation-campaign-for-pcb-design-of-the-powerpc-notebook-motherboard/).
+[Joining](https://www.powerpc-notebook.org/join/) the project is one way, and sending money the way of their [donation campaign](https://www.powerpc-notebook.org/campaigns/donation-campaign-for-pcb-design-of-the-powerpc-notebook-motherboard/) also helps.
-Thanks to the Free Software movement, the GNU/Linux kernel, all the BSD kernels and most, if not all, of the existing free and open source software, may run on this laptop without any issues.
+Thanks to the Free Software movement, the Linux|GNU kernel, all the BSD kernels and most, if not all, of the existing libre software, the laptop facilitates ample choice of good things to run.
The first version will have these specifications:
