Would be nice indeed. Cheaper than what a Deckard will likely be (almost certainly in the 4 digit range) and no Facebook garbage. Though the wording in the article is kinda weird and almost sounds like you still require a PS5.
Probably. Sony provided upstream Linux with drivers for their controllers, and have been for a while now. The controllers arguably work better on Linux than they do on Windows without third party software/drivers.
I’m 70% sure that Sony just ported their drivers almost directly from Orbis (the PS4/5 OS) since Orbis is based on FreeBSD, which is POSIX-compliant. Windows is not POSIX-compliant, so they’d need to do more work porting it over.
That’s a pretty unexpected surprise. If it provides Linux-compatible usage, I might get one afterall.
It’s Sony, so they’ll advertise Linux support, then pull it with a firmware update in 3-4 years.
Is this supposed to refer to something specific?
The PlayStation 3 had support to install other OS’s, namely Linux. But it was removed after About 4 years with a system update.
Was that even advertised? I thought that was to claim a tax break or something
It was advertised and they lost a class action. I ended up with like $150 soccer I could prove my usage.
Hey I got like 10 bucks from that class action lawsuit and no more Linux on my PS3
I hope they do this, even if it’s just as a fuck-you to Microsoft. As long as they don’t actively get in the way of it, I’m sure it’ll happen.

It’s not arguably imo. My ps controllers worked way better in Linux.

Are you trying to talk dirty to me, sir?
