2 min readKey summary
Security researcher Andy Nguyen published instructions and tools to boot Linux on select older PS5 models.
The method relies on a patched firmware vulnerability, works only on specific versions, and is temporary rather than persistent.
It requires custom driver tweaks and applies mainly to narrow, disc-based console setups.
The demo showed Linux running PC-style workloads, including GTA V at 60 fps and Spider-Man at high frame rates.
