This is the same one behind the rest of the projects. Linux for PlayStation 5although a message in X/Twitter has made it clear that it is abandoning the project of bringing this operating system to the Pro version of the console. In his words, some “sloppy” have thrown away their work with programming assistants based on LLMsince it seems anyone can generate code with AI to hacking/modding without understanding what you are really doing.
Some kids, just as he describes them, have reported to Sony the only exploit left available in the Hypervisordespite Andy Nguyen requesting that they do so after the release of GTA 6. In this way, users who purchase their copy of GTA VI They could also install Linux, but, although these guys accepted, the next day they reported the error through Sony’s rewards program. This surely gave them a benefit at the expense of other developers who have spent some time investigating these types of errors to benefit the user community.
PS5 Pro exploit could be rendered useless after being reported to Sony
The developer seems a little angry and has decided abandon the project since Sony will fix the reported bug it has been working so hard on. Luckily, having a GPL 3.0 license The repository is available at GitHub so that the community can continue to develop and advance, although the Linux code for PlayStation 5 Pro It seems to be unavailable.
It seems that users who want install Linux on the PlayStation 5 Pro Now they will have a difficult time, even before the launch of the long-awaited GTA 6 just as Andy Nguyen requested.
