Could you build this?
No Porting Linux to the PS5 involves low-level kernel patching, reverse-engineering proprietary hardware interfaces, developing custom hardware drivers (like Wi-Fi), and exploiting console bootchains.
What it would actually take: Requires deep Linux kernel internals expertise, assembly, and console security research. The stack involves low-level C, custom device tree files, kernel driver development, and bootloader payloads targeting the AMD Oberon SoC. Testing requires hardware debugging setups and vulnerable PS5 consoles to execute unauthorized code.
