Is the ps5 a good Linux machine?
>>
>any PS5
>lower firmware
contradictio in terminis

>>108754061
Doesn't the PS5 have proprietary hardware that there are no Linux drivers for?
>>
>>108754061
>highly capable
>Linux computer
You can run neofetch at staggering speeds!

honestly i love linux on playstations. did it on ps2, ps3 with the official support when it existed, and i bet its just as fun to mess around with on ps5. i have the official ps2 linux keyboard and mouse which are cool oddities.
>>
No, because it relies on exploiting security vulnerabilities just to get Linux running to begin with. The PS5 solely designed with their proprietary FreeBSD-based distro in mind. Sony doesn't have Linux drivers for it and you cannot expect them to make them either.

The Steam Machine is a much better Linux machine because it was designed for Linux.

The PS5 is unironically a BSD machine.

This. Wtf would anyone need or want to go through all that trouble if a ready made solution with no real restrictions exists?
Would I be cool if you were some kind of poorfag and by some miracle owned a ps5? Sure. However if you don't own either, just by any modern deck handheld that runs actual OSes and use that as your portable or desktop or what ever you want it to be.
I have a legion go and I can run steam is on it, emulate Ps, Nintendo etc games on it and it can be used as a desktop or laptop.
Handheld computers that could run actual OSes is what we always asked for.

No. A GPU driver was the biggest hurdle, but Mesa has already merged patches to add support for it.

Unlike the cucked versions of Linux that have run on consoles in the past without GPU acceleration, you can tap into the full power of the PS5's hardware and even stuff like ray tracing works. Rich from Digital Foundry showed a bunch of games running in the latest DF Direct.

Why didn't that stupid gook just make a FreeBSD booter then? Proton works there as well.
