[@zouzou7619]

You Guy are crazy ! Many thks for sharing and the work !

[@XIxXUnknownXxIX]

Excellent tutorial, especially explaining swap memory. I'd be thrilled to see some classic games from a GOG installer installed through Proton. This would give many access to some older PS3/360 era games that didn't get a port. *cough* repacks work on proton *cough*

[@nicholasgerman5376]

Yo what's proton and got any more info. I'd love to install like fallout New Vegas from gog that I bought.

Thank you for this! I have been wondering about Linux on PS4 in 2024 since so many other videos are out of date.

[@nothanksfools]

Been waiting on this I’ve never used Linux before so this will be a nice introduction.

[@wenismcgump]

ooh that operating system is nothing, go check out kde plasma, the best linux distro at the moment. mind blown the first time i used linux that something thats like 2 times better than windows is also free and i can see the source code. daily driver from now till forever

My first introduction to Linux was on the PS3 and I still use it as my primary driver to this day (other than my gaming rig). Funny how things come full circle.

[@cathal2986]

Great vid! I understand this is nitpicky and more of a tutorial channel by the looks of it so completely understand if you don't want to (especially as most of it is mentioned in the intro, and clips are shown throughout the video anyway), but I feel a little "showcase" section of the video would be handy to show the different things you can do and a few clips of you doing them, just for those on the fence about if they want this or not. Could just hop to that timestamp rather than watching the whole 30mins to get to the end and realise its not for them

[@osmab_ua]

Great tutorial! 19:20 In updating section, you can actually create sh script or pin those packages to not write everytime dnf install -x packages or any other package manager

​@@guillhermee Yea it failed sadly i bought a crucial x9 2tb during Amazon prime day.. did the whole guide at first it wouldn't detect. Then i tried fedora 39 still didnt work :( im testing a 16gb usb with the source to see if it was just that or if theres something wrong with my ps4 pro. I bought it from japan on ebay idk if that makes a difference or not lol sorry for late reply i was saving up for it too ughh

[@KushiroP]

​@@GummibriHow was it?

[@salmankk_87]

Team PSXITA have worked with developer Mircoho to fix performance issues of PS4 Linux on PS4 Pro on recent firmwares. They have released* binaries that should work as well as, if not better than, their equivalent on regular PS4s. As strange as it might sound, Linux tends to be slower on PS4 Pro than regular PS4s. This is mostly for historical reasons, as the folks behind the original Linux support for PS4 (Team Fail0verflow, in particular Marcan who’s now working on Linux support for Apple Silicon) worked on regular PS4s 😅😅😅

[@Tamermoga73]

can't believe the amount of things you can do with a 10~ year old console

[@emuking_calle13]

I think linux just bricked my ps4 pro, i was on linux went and rebooted to go to ps4 firmware and now after ps logo it stays on permanent black screen. All day been doing the power reset method and nothing, it keeps staying on black screen after checking disk and ps logo. Now i have the blinking blue light of death.

[@Saigaiii]

A few extra things: 1. There is a fedora 39 btw. By the same dude, should be able to find it easily on KZbin or the ps4 Linux discord. 2. There is a boottargs text file that should help for those who get the black screen, no matter what other things you tried. Again should be able to easily find that in the ps4 Linux discord.

[@SGTxKITKAT]

For anyone having issues with the install-linux-hdd shell script check your /dev folder bc your hdd could be mounted to a different location than the install script expected, my console mounted to /dev/sdb27 instead of /dev/sda27 so just use the vi command to change it Edit* I had a USB plugged in and for some reason it will be sda and make the HDD sdb so just unplug the USB before trying to install

This is great work although I feel it glosses over a few steps. I personally couldn't get it to boot for installing/updating, and then after install boot for using it for games/web browsing etc, without having a USB stick connected, something that persists. Not sure why, especially when both the USB stick and HDD initramfs are set for internal HDD and the correct files are in /user/system/boot as per the tutorial. Without the USB stick plugged in it literally shuts the PS4 Pro down after about ten seconds, without fail, every time, but with it plugged in it works perfectly. Any tips would be appreciated.
