    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.

      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.

        Yes, that would make sense, if not for the “started experimenting” part. I do understand the process here, its just that the writing is nonsensical (or AI).

          It makes sense…

          Just not to you…

          Now that I’ve explained it, you agree that it can be taken that way, but still because you didn’t immediately take it the intended way, you see fault with the writing.

          That is a very bad attitude to have.

          Not immediately understanding what someone means is normal,happens to everyone.

          But if after someone explains it in a way you get, doubling down that the writer was at fault aost guarantees you’re going to keep having this problem.

          You cant force everyone everywhere to communicate in a way that you immediately get, you have to work on being able to view something multiple different ways and identifying thru context what was meant.

          Like, just for purely selfish reasons, you want to be able to understand others

            Yeah, I needed your explanation. I just could not conceive another interpretation, and choose to reject it. Without your guidance I could not into English dear sir! Thank you for your selfless benevolent assistance!

              Right on, kind of still sounds sarcastic, but I’ll chalk that up to language issues.

              Have a good one

    https://www.reddit.com/r/PS5_Jailbreak/comments/1fhlyjt/guide_to_find_the_firmware_version_of_a_sealed/

    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, 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.

      He essentially did. He did that one build with one of those ps5 reject boards. Based off that I assumed the ps5 could run standard Linux but I haven’t cared about consoles and modding in a very long time.

      If you can pick up a second-hand PS5, possibly. Obviously is if you already own one and wanna Proton it.

      To access most of the internet you must pay a subscription. Plus the games you buy on the ps5 can’t be put on any other device.

      I know this because I bought baldurs gate and Helldiver’s, and had to purchase them again on steam.

      A ps5 and most consoles are a sunk-cost-fallacy machine.

        The fact that steam games are cross platform is because you buy a license. Very rarely a cd-rom would have Mac and Windows in one, but in that regard desktops were mostly like consoles not so long ago.
