What about a Raspberry Pi?
It seems powerful enough to be a desktop.

If you are interested in potentially using Linux as a first-time user,
I would *not* recommend trying to install on a poorly-supported architecture
like PowerPC.  That's really the domain of Linux experts, and is bound
to leave you frustrated.

If you want to try out Linux, I'd recommend starting on a standard
x86_64-architecture PC and moving to the more esoteric architectures
once you have some experience.
