If you're too impatient to wait for Valve's Steam Machine, developer and modder Andy Nguyen has created a solution, at least for the Sony crowd. He's released a loader on GitHub that allows Linux to run on a PlayStation 5. Its use is limited to disc drive models of the console running 3.xx and 4.xx firmwares; Nguyen said additional firmwares may eventually get support too, but it doesn't appear to be a priority. It's a fun idea, and Nguyen posted a video of the loader in action last month.
