minus-squareArthur Besse@lemmy.mlOPlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up16·edit-21 month ago If the PS5 is based off of Linux I don’t think it is though? After a few seconds searching I don’t see anything conclusive but PS4’s OS was based on FreeBSD so I would guess PS5’s probably is also. (I see that if you have a PS5 with old enough firmware you can put Linux on it yourself…) Sony does have some experience shipping Linux-based products though (probably first with Linux for PS2 in 2002, and more recently various android devices) and surely knows how to comply with the GPL.
