Sponsor: Thermaltake TR200 WS mATX Case on Amazon https://geni.us/bviRvG We used The FloW's softmod, among other tools, to install Linux on a Sony PlayStation 5. The process involves jailbreaking the PS5 to softmod it with Linux. Our lawyers tell us that we can make this video, but console makers are historically very "sensitive" (read: overbearing, sometimes to illegality and settlements) with regards to people doing what they want with hardware they bought and own. This mod allowed us to overclock the PS5, adjust the fan curves, install Steam, and even play Halo: Combat Evolved on the PS5 with Linux. Ubuntu, Arch, and Alpine are all supported payloads right now. The best way to support our work is through our store: https://store.gamersnexus.net/ Like our content?
