# soniciso1/ps5-linux-loader

> A fork of ps5-linux-loader that boots Linux on PS5 Phat, Slim and Pro consoles, adding experimental firmware 13.60 support. It turns the console into a desktop Linux PC using its CPU, GPU, USB, M.2, Bluetooth and Ethernet hardware.

- Magnitude: 2.2 out of 10 — Steady
- Stars: 111 total · +4 stars measured 2026-10-19, 12:58–14:40 UTC, ≈ 6 by evening
- Star trust: star growth looks organic
- Category: Hardware, IoT & robotics · Language: C · License: GPL-3.0 · Created: 2026-10-19 · Last push: 2026-10-19

## Useful for

- Boot Ubuntu from a USB drive on a PS5 running firmware 13.60
- Run Steam games and emulators on PS5 hardware under Linux
- Port the loader to a new firmware using a UART serial cable for debugging

## Why it’s here

- Star-counter measurements on 2026-10-19 (UTC), 12:58–14:40: 107 → 111 stars (+4). This is the change over that interval.
- Estimated end-of-day forecast: about +6 stars, using observed gains and the previous day.
- The repository is 0 days old and already has 111 stars. With less than two weeks of history, there's no usual pace to compare the spike against yet.
- Top new repositories this week: #185.
- About 27 forks a day — people are taking the code.
- Recent forks include notable developers: @ghost1372 (429 followers).

## Star trust

Star growth looks organic.

Star-trust labels are heuristics based on the repository’s behavior, not a check of every stargazer.

## Numbers

- Forks: 15
- Issues and pull requests: 1
- Watchers: 4
- Average over the last week: 6 per day
- Usual pace: too little history (under two weeks)
- Stars in the last hour (measured): 2
- Latest release: v13.60 (2026-10-19)

## Stars per day, last 1 day (oldest → newest, today is partial)

Magnitude (0–10) measures how fast and how unusually interest in a repository is growing right now. It is not a quality score.
Days are UTC. “So far today” is a fact; “expected by the end of the day” is a forecast.
Summaries and use cases are written by an LLM (DeepSeek V4.1 Flash) from the README and may be inaccurate: verify specific claims (benchmarks, speed, hardware) in the repository itself.
