Just to add, the Talos machines would be Power8 which can work under
ppc64le which is a very modern supported arch.  Although, I don't
think we provide any desktop images of any kind for ppc64le right now,
which makes sense given the lack of desktop hardware for it (yet,
hopefully).

Power8 is pretty cool in that it can be the modern ppc64le (or switch
back to ppc64el)

Kind regards,
Bryan
