If you are searching for alternative operating systems, there is  
MorphOS, which can run on PPC hardware.
For a compatibility list, see: https://www.morphos-team.net/hardware
The PowerMac G4 is supported if an ATI graphics card is used.

Besides, there are some Linux variations which can run on a G4; but I  
don't have any experience on this topic.

Anna
