"Nguyen is relying on a patched vulnerability to transform a PS5 into a Linux PC, which means this exploit only works on disc-based PS5 consoles running older 3.xx or 4.xx firmware versions."
"The Linux installation on the PS5 includes custom VRAM allocation and working fan controls, but you may need to disable and reenable the WLAN adapter to get a full internet connection after first boot."
"While 1080p, 1440p, and 4K resolutions are all supported, they will only run at 60Hz output. 120Hz or 30Hz may be added in the future."
"I would only recommend trying out Linux on a PS5 if you're familiar with Linux commands and happy to potentially brick your console."
A developer has enabled Linux on certain versions of the PS5 through a soft mod, allowing users to play PC games. The installation process is available on GitHub. This method works on disc-based PS5 consoles with older firmware versions, specifically 3.xx or 4.xx. The installation supports various resolutions but is limited to 60Hz output. Future updates may include additional features. Users should be cautious, as the process may risk bricking the console, and familiarity with Linux commands is recommended.
