Andy Nguyen, who goes by the name TheFlow0 in the hacking community, has spent over a decade exploring and manipulating Sony’s gaming consoles. He is best known for creating the first kernel exploit for the PlayStation Vita, a significant milestone in console hacking. Recently, Nguyen led a project aimed at installing a full Linux operating system on the PlayStation 5, allowing the console to function similarly to a gaming PC. This would enable users to run Linux-based software and games on the PS5, in addition to Sony’s proprietary games. Nguyen had initially planned to support the upcoming PS5 Pro and release a final version of the project in 2027. Nguyen has expressed concerns about the rise of "vibe-coders," a term he uses to describe developers who rely on large language models (LLMs) to generate code without fully understanding the technology behind it. According to reports from the site FRVR, he criticized the current hacking scene, stating it has shifted from a group of skilled researchers to a collection of less experienced individuals who use AI tools to write hacks they don’t truly comprehend. A group he refers to as "slop kiddies" used AI to discover a vulnerability in the PS5’s hypervisor, the core component that manages the console’s operations. Instead of keeping the flaw secret, they reported it to Sony in hopes of receiving a reward. Nguyen had asked them to delay publicizing the vulnerability until the release of GTA 6, allowing players to enjoy the game on Linux. However, the group leaked the vulnerability the next day, undermining his plan. The most recent version of Nguyen’s project is 2.5, which supports the original PS5 models (referred to as "Fat" and "Slim") running firmware versions 3.00 to 7.61. A tool that allows the Steam platform to run in 4K resolution on the PS5 is still available for download. However, the planned support for the PS5 Pro, which was expected in 2027, has been canceled. The impact of this issue extends beyond the PS5. The team behind RPCS3, a popular PlayStation 3 emulator, has also banned the use of AI-generated code for similar reasons, as such code is often unreadable and unverifiable by developers. For users still interested in installing Linux on their PS5, they must use a "Fat" or "Slim" model that is running a compatible firmware and version 2.5, the last available version of the project. While the future of Linux on the PS5 remains uncertain, the community continues to explore ways to push the boundaries of what the console can do.
