In Google Trends 'How to install Linus' is getting more attention!!
#linux hacked onto a PS5 to turn Sony's console into a Steam Machine — GTA V Enhanced Edition runs at 60 FPS on 1440pwith ray tracing
- smooth gameplay
- supports 4k HDMI output and audio output
- Both CPU and GPU works normally and both can be boosted to a higher level
- All USB ports works perfectly
In a way, this is a tease of what the upcoming Steam Machine will be since it'll feature similar performance and run SteamOS, based on Linux.
From next week, Australia will require users to verify their age to play GTA Online and other R18+ online games.
