Overview

In this very professional tutorial, we'll go over how to install Linux on your PS4. The guide has been created because the PS4Linux website hasn't been updated in ages and their documentation is pretty bad (still, their work is appreciated, this guide is heavily inspired by it).

This tutorial focuses ONLY on modern versions of Linux.

Video guide (optional)

TIP

If you prefer a video guide, I recommend Modded Warfare's on YT.

As is the nature with videos, it may not be up to date with the content here.

Warning before you proceed

CAUTION

Read the guide carefully to avoid any mistakes. It is recommended to read it fully at least once, as it may be a little bit overwhelming at first.

This guide is offered as is, with no warranty whatsoever. The writers are not responsible if you screw something up.

TIP

If you do share this tutorial, remember to mention the source and that things are subject to change.

Read all warnings and don't just skip over them please.
