My grandfather gave me his old Playstation
Can I install Linux on this thing to learn command line interface and host some stuff on it maybe?
What would you use it for? I'm not much into games

it plays blurays, can run netflix, hulu, etc

whatever you end up doing with it, for that model of PS5, you're supposed to not let it stand up like that as the liquid metal that cools the CPU might leak out of its designated area
I think Sony might've fixed that issue with the pro model but I assume pro models don't have disc drives.

Get an old PC. An off-lease Dell, HP, or Lenovo SFF machine will give you way fewer headaches than some kludgy PS5 install.

sell it and get a pc, you'll save yourself a lot of headaches
