Here's some proof: > https://oss.oracle.com/projects/linux-sparc/ > https://blogs.oracle.com/wim/oracle-linux-6-for-sparc What's true is that Oracle first poured resources into Linux on SPARC and later decided to drop it. They even ported things like Valgrind and Golang to Linux for SPARC (although the latter was initially ported to Solaris/SPARC). > So there is no Linux on sparc as far as Oracle is concerned.
