No, you can't directly install Linux or Windows on your PS4. It's designed to run only its own operating system.
The topic revolves around understanding key concepts in the subject matter discussed.
Certainly. Here’s a rephrased version:
No issue at all. It’s not a major concern.
Of course, hackers can still find a way, mainly to show proof of concept and prove it’s possible. Beyond that, there’s no official driver or software support available. If you believe you could exploit the powerful APU in the PS4 to run Steam games, unfortunately it’s not feasible. There are no official graphics drivers beyond the basic ones created by hackers to display simple desktop content.
Great idea! If I could spend around 100 USD twice, I’d get a PS4 for this specific need and another one to use as usual on XDA dev. I’ve heard people mention it’s simpler to run a PS4 emulation on Android than on a PS2, and if you can make a PC OS work on a PS4 there’s probably a good reason. The PS4 is basically a PC in a different form, while the PS2 is quite distinct.
For this scenario, I’d picture a PS4 running Ubuntu with an S4 emulator. It could be funny to watch me play a PS4 game on a PS4 that’s actually running Ubuntu and an emulator. The thought of making a viral YouTube video would be fun—imagine playing a PS4 game on a PS4 that’s just Ubuntu and an emulator. It’d be wild!
There’s definitely a way if you pass the right zeros and ones through it. But I don’t see much benefit since there’s a high risk of damaging your hardware. Even if you manage it, you probably won’t be able to run PS4 games on its original OS. There’s also a big chance the drivers won’t work properly for whatever you install. I’d recommend using Ubuntu on your toaster instead of risking your PS4.
