PS5 Linux lead quits: "a bunch of noobs using LLMs" that "they don't understand"
2 hours ago
- Andy 'TheFlow0' Nguyen, a legendary PlayStation hacker and homebrew developer, has abandoned the PS5 Linux project.
- Nguyen cited the rise of AI 'vibe-coders' in open-source spaces as the primary reason for stepping away.
- AI vibe-coders reportedly submitted code they did not understand and reported a critical hypervisor bug to Sony for a bounty, ruining progress.
- The last version of PS5 Linux under Nguyen is Version 2.5, supporting PS5 Phat and Slim on firmwares 3.00-7.61.
