Back in March this year, security engineer and modder Andy Nguyen started experimenting with running Linux on the PS5. After months of testing and improvements, he has finally released PS5-Linux

Math was never my strongest point, but something doesent add up here.

The world without editors.

There are editors. It is just an Ai chat bot 🤷

Made sense to the LLM!

Think of it like a toddler.

The first 9 months, it's not even an infant yet. Then boom, you get a baby. 6 months of development later you have a 6 month old toddler. But process started 15 months ago.

Based on this list, it looks like you have to be sitting on a 2022 or earlier non-updated PS5 to have a chance at the 4.51 or lower firmware to use this. A chance it'll open up to other firmwares and as said maybe there's a limited functionality 5.xx exploit on the horizon, but just a bit of reality before you get too excited.

Well gotta turn off auto updates immediately.

Edit: by immediately I mean years ago, apparently.

[-] Jimbabwe@lemmy.world 7 points 3 weeks ago

Good thing mine has been unplugged ever since I realized a docked steam deck paired with ps5 controllers was a way better experience than using the PS5 anyway

I immediately blocked my ps5 from the internet when the Rom keys got leaked, but I too fear it was already too late

[-] RogueBanana@piefed.zip 2 points 3 weeks ago

If it was on, I assume it is already updated to 5.x which patched the vulnerability. But if it is 4.x then you're in luck.

[-] evidences@lemmy.world 6 points 3 weeks ago

I can't wait for bringus studios to release a video where he games on a PS5.

[-] SatansMaggotyCumFart@piefed.world 5 points 3 weeks ago

I wonder how it compares to the steam machine.

[-] halcyoncmdr@piefed.social 5 points 3 weeks ago

Well, you can get the hardware now for one.

Would be an interesting comparison once it does release though. Especially for a price/performance comparison now that Sony increased PS5 pricing.

[-] daggermoon@piefed.world 2 points 3 weeks ago

If I install Linux on a PS5, can I use the Blu-ray drive as a PC optical drive to rip DVD's and shit?

[-] kkj@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 3 weeks ago

I doubt it, but if so, maybe you can do UHD Blu-Rays too, since the PS5 can handle those.

[-] CanIFishHere@lemmy.ca 2 points 3 weeks ago

Isn't the PS5 already a fully functional gaming computer?

[-] Species8472@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 3 weeks ago

Mindblown.

[-] SreudianFlip@sh.itjust.works 1 points 3 weeks ago

PSN required to play online games. Ongoing subscription, not cheap. So no, not fully functional, except as a pickpocket.

Fml, my ps5 is up to date. Maybe I can try and buy an old one and sell mine.
