Hoping for Linux support on my 13.60 Playstation 5 too so that I can get a free Steam Machine for the next few years.
It can’t come soon enough even if my Steam Deck is still running well.

It ain’t really his top.
He said in the video that he uses Floorp and Chromium so he can’t put them in another tier.
What he thinks is best is in the tier under.


Yeah I guess I should do this in order to learn more about window managers and hotkeys.
Still I know that I need a DE for sure for now. Even on a DE, I find the explanations about how to use them kind of lacking.
For instance, Gnome doesn’t tell you that you can spread 7 programs on 7 workspaces if I’m not mistaken.
At the beginning, I was really using a kind of Windows workflow instead of discovering the full power of Gnome…
This applies to the other DEs I use too…


I feel really lost with all these users talking about window managers, hotkeys and specific terms. I feel like a rookie😅
If someone has a video comparing a lot of different workflows, I’d love to watch it. I feel like my workflow could still be improved.
Currently I use Gnome on my Surface Go (hooked to a big screen) daily driver, Cosmic on my old MacBook Pro and KDE on my Steam Deck (hooked to the same big screen).
I love Gnome and how I’ve configured (with an extension) every program to open on a specific workspace at startup while just using gestures or keyboard to move between workspaces.
I’ve kind of reproduced this with KDE and Cosmic, but it’s not as perfect.
KDE doesn’t follow the window rules I’m setting and Cosmic doesn’t let you automatically start programs on a specific workspace.
Even better for me, transform my PS5 into a Linux computer.
I just hope I won’t have to wait for too long as my Steam Deck can’t run some newer games.


I don’t have one, but I guess it’s comparable to the base Ps5 I have.
Reviews seems to confirm this and it’s also why I’m not sure I would get it if it was available in my country.
For now I’m hoping for advancements with Linux on PS5 and I might get a 1000$ gaming rig around 2029…


I’d consider it as a ps3.5, but you can clearly play newer AAA games if you’re not picky with the performance


It used to work for me and then it didn’t anymore so I just gave up and load Es-De from Steam.
It’s true that stumbling on Lemmy usual la happens after quite some time on Linux, not the other way around.
What’s great is that OP is gonna be finding a lot of Linux stuff on Lemmy!


Please provide a list


Nah because at one point there used to be the nba games from Sony, the ones from EA and the ones from 2K.
And I don’t even know if there is a Euroleague game or whatever.
So basically, from what I know, if you enjoy basketball and want to play basketball videogames, you only have NBA 2K as a sim.
It’s also why I kind of stopped playing basketball videogames and only play in real life and watch games.


It’s probably because there is no other nba simulation available…


Yeah I guess they won’t force it unless a game can’t run decently without it.


It can’t do harm even if I’m slowly moving away to Linux gaming.
If it’s a feature which makes the PS5 last for longer, I’m all for it!


I’ll look into it, thanks!


I’m not rooting for Roblox but hés playing some interesting games on it and it now lead him to try some management games on Steam now.
I have a way better feeling about Roblox than about Fortnite where he used his allowance to get skins and other stuff.
I’m not saying you don’t have predators and stupid games on Roblox, but it’s not just this.


But wouldn’t I block any online game or feature by doing this?


I’m on firmware 13.6 but almost updated a week ago.
Now I just have to prevent my 9 year old son from updating it when playing Roblox and it might one day become my Linux gaming PC instead of buying a pre-built when prices go down.
Let’s hope the new exploit helps the PS5 Linux scene.


I use makeMKV as a Flatpak and never had to change any of the permissions, although it’s true that F’atpaks have restrictions.
But I never tried it on my Steam Deck.
Maybe OP has another computer he could try MakeMKV on.
Yeah I’m almost certain it’s gonna come back in a big way.
The question is will it be something permanent, in such case the PS5 would become a real Steam Machine alternative. Or will it just become something that you have to reinstall every time you reboot the console, becoming just a gimmick…
