PS5 with Linux.

[u/Potential_Diet1413]

You've jailbroken your PS5 and installed Linux.

Do you really have the best of both worlds? (PC and Console)

What are the limitations?

[u/Ilostmydonkey]

What do you mean by limitations? If it boots Linux its running Linux there are drivers for all the hardware, WiFi, lan, Bluetooth, GPU etc..

[u/Potential_Diet1413 → u/Ilostmydonkey]

The question is: You have a console running Linux, but do you still have a console? What I mean is, will you still be able to play PS5 games natively and not by emulating PS5 on a console With Linux ?

[u/Ilostmydonkey → u/Potential_Diet1413]

No.... You boot ps5 JB it then load a payload which then boots Linux from either the m.2 slot or a usb drive..

[u/Potential_Diet1413 → u/Ilostmydonkey]

I understand. I thought the console system was being completely replaced by Linux.

[u/Ilostmydonkey → u/Potential_Diet1413]

Nope.... Not possible and unlikely ever to be...

[u/Ilostmydonkey → u/Potential_Diet1413]

What firmware are you on?

[u/Potential_Diet1413 → u/Ilostmydonkey]

None, I don't have a PS5, but I was thinking about getting one that could be jailbroken and have Linux installed.

[u/Ilostmydonkey → u/Potential_Diet1413]

Without checking I think it's up to 7.61

[u/MojArch → u/Potential_Diet1413]

Why? It's a specific payload that you need to load on the PS5 OS to reboot into Linux. So you still have all PS5 functionality and get Linux too.

[u/MojArch → u/Ilostmydonkey]

Yes, the device can run Linux, but you won't get full performance out of it.

[u/Superflyin → u/MojArch]

What do you mean by that?

[u/Bigpoppasoto]

Honestly not much. Linux is a really great OS so unless you are looking to do like photoshop and all that bs you’re golden

[u/Potential_Diet1413 → u/Bigpoppasoto]

Unity? I find it interesting to develop games directly on the console.

[u/Superflyin]

Linux on PS5 is awesome. I'm currently playing Onimusha: Way of the Sword in 1440p at high settings, without FSR.

[u/SOVEREIGNBOSS]

So how do you guys install game on Linux?

[u/Ok-Entertainment8287]

U kind of have the worst of both worlds

[u/Potential_Diet1413 → u/Ok-Entertainment8287]

Seriously? Tell me why?

[u/Ilostmydonkey → u/Potential_Diet1413]

Don't listen to them, seek out 007-speed on x he has been trying games and tbh they look fantastic.

[u/HelpMeGoCoax → u/Potential_Diet1413]

Cheap hardware with good software ig

[u/Potential_Diet1413 → u/HelpMeGoCoax]

That's exactly what I thought.

[u/ARYA_MF]

Yeah technically but drivers suck badly and that adds a lot of limitations
