The PS4 Linux port is available to the public via fail0verflow’s website, but is mostly useless to end-users. “If we can get people interested in running Linux on the PS4 over using the native OS, we can redirect efforts away from reverse engineering the original software infrastructure (which is what the piracy guys need, and they inevitably leech off of those efforts) to Linux (which is completely useless for piracy),” said fail0verflow. While piracy is a concern when hacking consoles, fail0verflow does hope there is a “net positive effect”. In a blog post on fail0verflow’s website, the hackers noted the PS4 hardware does resemble PC hardware but “it is not a PC, and Linux needs quite a bit of extra work to get running.”įail0verflow also notes 3D acceleration, USB, and HDMI audio is a “work-in-progress” in its Linux OS.
