The developer claims all their work was wasted after 'slop kiddies' found the hypervisor bug crucial for running Linux on the PS5.

      You can on a used AMD BC-250 board, which is what’s inside a PS5. With a liquid cooling set up, I spent less than €400, which includes a new 1TB ssd (almost half of the cost)

      I just finished my build and it’s great!!

          By not buying ps5. You bought it with expectation of running linux on it?

            Cool. Can you borrow your time machine so I don’t buy one 5 years ago?

            There used to be a time where you bought hardware and MAYBE you could do more with it. The assumption being that someone is going to fuck you over later so you can do less with your hardware sucks.

              Well, there is an assumption like this with playstation, and this assumption exists since ps3. I’m not saying that it wouldn’t be great if there were an ability to install whatever you want.
