Linux on PS4 now supports PS4 Slim and PS4 Pro
(image source: logic-sunrise.com)
Developer eeply has released a fork of the PS4-Linux codebase, which now supports PS4 Slim and Pro models. More specifically, the developer has implemented the required HDMI output driver, which was apparently the one thing not working for recent models of the PS4 in the existing Linux implementation.
According to early feedback, getting Linux to run on the PS4 is a bit of hit and miss at the moment, due to some instability (which can cause the occasional freeze at startup) and the fact that it is tough to find the right files to work with. Nevertheless, multiple people have reported that they got Linux to properly run on the PS4 Pro or PS4 Slim, and I’m sure “all in one” packages will surface on your regular scene websites very soon.
And as always, this goes without saying, but you need a hacked PS4 in order to run this, for example a PS4 with firmware 4.55.
Download Linux for PS4, compatible PS4 Slim/PS4 Pro
You can download the bzimage file from the developer’s github here.
In order to run Linux on the PS4, in addition to the Linux port, you’ll need the Linux Loader from ValentinBreiz, as well as the initramfs.cpio.gz file (just keep the initramfs file, and replace the bzimage with the one from eeply). Those wanting to compile eeply’s port by themselves will want to make sure they use the right branch (e.g. this one for PS4 Pro)

First but i don’t care
ur mum’s ya dad
Would be nice to have some info about Dolphin emulator or Steam games compatibility!
Is graphics hardware accelerated (Vulkan?) ?
Thanks
Considering the single threaded performance of the ps4 it would be a terrible cpu for emulation and harder to run games. It may just run something like terraria fine but don’t expect it to work well as a pc.
0 comments. So this is how people really care about the legit use of a PS4 exploit.
My legit use is homebrew emulators of other systems and my piracy is more justified than your average native platform pirate.
TEST ALL THE EMULATORSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
*FIRST*
TEST ALL THE EMULATORSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
ps4 slim ***?
Where can I get that wallpaper? looks very nice
Just search ps4 linux wallpaper on google images and should see it. Couldn’t post link.
I don’t need that f linux, I need a f 5.05 jailbreak
No one cares what you need
No one
cuz I know that people want jailbreak, not a pathetic linux, ps4 is only for games!
Do the PS4 games still works on this Linux? If not, I don’t see the point. You could just install Linux somewhere else…
Linux will open many things for ps4 so the more support the more possibilities like ps3 bc etc.
I’m super excited for this. With a legit ditribution this could be an ideal platform for emulation station/retroarch. If i had a compatible console, i really would like to help out and test/compile stuff.
I hope 4.55 is the last jb and i hope that there is a method for downgrade to 4.55 (like ps3 3.55)
is there any way to put windows 10 to ps4?
Does that mean I can run PCSX2 emulator on PS4 through linux ? LOL!
i need that wallpaper… but in black……
there is an update for the bzimage with more models

Who has a PS4 that low lmao. Online gaming is what PS4 is about so no one has a low FW.
Users can also use the Media Player application to enjoy videos, photos and music that are saved on USB storage devices or media servers. PS4 may serve as a good portable device for video enjoyment in addition to game playing. The following multimedia file formats are supported,
