If you’ve spent time working with Linux software like GnuCash for finance, OnlyOffice for productivity, or Pinta for graphics, and you’ve explored lightweight desktop environments like Xubuntu and Lubuntu, you know how versatile Linux can be.
Now imagine running a full Linux system on a PlayStation 5 console. Thanks to the work of security researcher Andy Nguyen, this is no longer just a thought experiment—PS5 hardware can now run Ubuntu 24.04.4, Steam, and even modern games like GTA V with ray tracing enabled. This opens up entirely new ways to use the console beyond its original purpose.
