Gaming Console Linux / Unix 4 [*] Reviews - [ ]exclude selected types - [ ]exclude selected tags While many players are waiting for the PS6, which could still be a few years away due to the ongoing memory crisis, modders are continuing to experiment with current hardware in the meantime. And one of them, Andy Nguyen, has managed to run Linux on the PS5. In a recent post shared on X, Nguyen revealed that he has successfully managed to port Linux to the PS5. To demonstrate the project, Nguyen shared a video showing GTA 5 Enhanced Edition running smoothly on the system at around 60 FPS with ray tracing enabled. Nguyen also mentioned that 4K HDMI video output and audio are both working correctly, and all of the PS5's USB ports are functioning normally as well. He added that the CPU is currently running at 3.2 GHz, while the GPU is operating at 2.0 GHz. It is technically possible to push the hardware further. Nguyen said the CPU could be boosted to 3.5 GHz and the GPU to 2.23 GHz, but doing so causes his PS5 Slim model to overheat fairly quickly. Because of that, he decided not to push the system to those higher speeds. However, there is one major limitation. Nguyen explained that this setup only works with a full chain exploit, meaning it can only run on older PS5 firmware versions.
