No Running Linux on a PS5, including the 13.60 and Pro variants, depends on a kernel exploit chain and hardware-specific low-level work.
What it would actually take: A real version requires finding and chaining a kernel vulnerability on the console's firmware, then building a bootloader that loads a Linux kernel and device drivers for PS5 hardware. This takes security research, reverse engineering of the PS5 kernel and firmware, and low-level kernel and driver expertise. Many firmware versions also have to be supported.
