its a good idea, i found that lubuntu and ubuntu-mate, has an 16.04 version of powerpc from april 2016 release and they are long term support(3 years for desktop image)

http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-mate/releases/16.04.4/release/
http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/lubuntu/releases/16.04.4/release/

close to the debian wheezy 7.9 that quarktheawesome use from september 2015

Installing via a disc image will not work; they're almost definitely designed to boot from a Macintosh New World bootloader, and linux-loader is a completely different beast. Until a better installation method is developed, you'll have to manually set up your SD card with fw.img (linux-loader) and dtbImage.wiiu (the kernel) and create a rootfs on a USB drive using something like debootstrap.

It's all already explained in the gitlab page

wrote the image to a usb stick, placed the dtbImage.wiiu file in the Linux directory, placed fw.img in the root of the sd.. and nothing. just crashes back to hbc when launching cfw booter.
help?

CFW Booter and the Homebrew Launcher have been known to be buggy in certain configurations. Booting fw.img directly from Haxchi is generally more reliable.

Actually where you attached the linux usb? it needs to be the top usb slot on the back of the console, otherwise will not boot

The gui stuff needs to be installed via apt-get, try apt-get install xorg, apt-get install lightdm and apt-get install lxde.
I recommend use apt-get update first.

Edit: Also give a search to android tethering to have Internet conection
