No, but I ran NetBSD on my Dreamcast.

you need to die

No, but I ran Gentoo on my Xbox.

I did end up getting everything needed to run Linux on my PS2, but didn't feel like it would be worth doing so, by that point a 300MHz MIPS box with 32M ram was pretty restrictive, and I had already gotten an Xbox at that point, which was more suitable for this purpose.

>>61225400
I'm currently bedridden and I don't own a laptop.
Good enough reason?

>>61225446
I hope you die of whatever illness you have.

>>61225297
It uses the old version 2 kernel, how much work would it be to upgrade it to a modern version?

>>61225458
>omg u use a phone u need 2 die!!!!!
lmao what a child

>>61225486
You just proved his point right, underage kid.

>>61225458
Meanie :(

I bought it, but never actually did anything with it. It took me almost 10 years to finally get a monitor that supported sync on green, but by that point, I wasn't that interested in running redhat on my ps2 anymore. I still have lots of suitable IDE drives sitting around for it.

>>61225328

>>61225308
now you know why the ps3 was able to run linux for a few years

>>61225297
I used it on the ps3. Wasn't the greatest but it worked. Was called yellow dog.

One guy actually wolf packed 16 of the original ps3 models because they were so cheap and powerful... To calculate black holes.


Then Sony cut it out of their firmware. And made subsequent models uber cheap and not as powerful.

It did exist for the ps2 but wasn't much faster than a solar powered calculator and took forever.

"version 2 kernel"
that would count anything from 2.0.0 (1996) through 2.6.39.4 (2011)
my guess is it uses 2.4.x

>>61225542
boy you sure showed me

those damn people using cell phones

man what a bunch of losers amirite

When did this phoneposter meme come in?

>>61225556
The stock kernel was 2.2.1 and could be upgraded up, not sure how high. I wonder if it would be possible to upgrade it to 4.9 or higher and how much trouble it would be.

>>61225524
A group I was working with used a supercomputer made with ~1800 PS3s for sigint stuff. Was good shit

>>61225562
Phoneposters ruined 4chan though, so he has a point.

>>61225575
i would imagine it depends on if the ps2 hardware has foss/mainline driver/arch support or not, if it does, then you can probably compile new kernels on it pretty easily
if it depends on proprietary drivers, then you're probably stuck on old major versions

>>61225566
smartphone retards posting mobile links, thumbnails, and pictures caked in compression artifacts and watermarks

I swear these shitposters are only here because OP mentioned PS2.

>>61225602
4chan has been around since everyone was using flip phones, jackass.

>>61225524
linux was ebin on the ps3 at the time you could use it

whats real fucking neato tho is all the crazy supercomputer shit that people were doing I think it was the us navy that had something retarded like 10k+ because it was the cheapest option to get something so powerful

sony were cunts for just going NO MORE OTHER OS NO MORE LINUX MUH HACKERS ARE GOING TO RUIN US BY FINDING OUR SKRTS out of the blue

why aren't you dead yet, give me a reason for that you piece of shit phonefaggot

>>61225400
Im a phone poster. Yet ive been posting daily on 4chan since literally 2005.

There is nothing wrong with phoneposting. If you wanna sit at your desktop like a loser them be my guest bitch. I have other things to do and my NOTE is huge enough to not be hampered down. Of course, i dont use mobile view.

Literally 2005. Sorry but no gamergate piece of shit is gonna call me out ad a newfag. Sorry but that wont do. Mind you, 2005 was the year 4chan ddosed and raided my home forum with lemon party bullshit. They completely crashed the site. Our entire community was ruined and inaccessible for weeks thats how i discovered 4chan.

TWO THOUSAND FUCKING FIVE.


What where you even doing in 2005 kid? Graduating from kindergarten? I bet you joined after gamergate didn't?

Newsflash, ive payed my dues. I've been apart of history. Ive posted on 4chan via desktop PRE web 2.0. I've posted BEFORE the fucking captcha kid. Did you even know that was a thing? Do you know all those epic raids kids like you grew up hearing about? Guess what? I was on the front lines for all of them. I was fucking there. I battled. I stormed the pools of habbo. I spammed gaia online. I fought viciously against boxxy fags claiming her as queen. I opposed project chanology. I fucking FOUGHT for this site and all of you little shits were still in diapers sucking on mommies teets as i defended your freedoms. I made memes. I wrote copy pasta. Ive checked em. I got singles, doubles, now these are triples. I failed at the triforce. I succeeded. I knew better then to fuck with football. Fall out tree. NEDM. Brbsoup. I went to the old man's birthday, etc.

Now you are gonna give me shit because i post from a phone. Shut the fuck

You should know that im an oldfag just by the way i carry myself

>>61225297
What's the point?

>>61228505

Phoneposting moved the barrier to entry down quite a bit, but shitposting wasn't worse before that, though more normies are here now.
IMO, mobile posting is not bad at all. Almost all techies are normies or gamers in the beginning ( no, not all are autists). I'm happy to see more of them familiarizing with my hobbies. Even I started to like computers when I got friends with a linux user back in 2006/2007.

99% of 4chan, including /g/, was never good

"Good" is subjective. Regardless. /g/, and all hte other boards I've browsed, were better objectively better a few years ago than they were today

Why don't Sony and Microsoft allow to install Linux or Windows on the PS4 and Xbox One?
They could have the greatest selling computers if you could install an OS on it and sell it with a mouse and keyboard and dual boot between console and OS. Are they just afraid of piracy?

>>61228505
Are you an failed >an hero

>>61229293
Do you have an objective way to measure bullshit?

>>61229226
It leads to piracy, you can run linux on ps4 if you're savvy!

>>61229300
Yes, on a scale of 0 to 1. A few years ago it hit 1, and has somehow climbed even higher.

Maybe they should put in a cheap low power CPU with really shitty integrated graphics just for the OS and not allow the OS to use the console GPU to prevent people from playing games on Linux or Windows.

You're dancing around because you haven't measured anything.

Mobile posting is for people that actually have jobs and lives and can't afford to sit in moms basement on the gay men machine all day.

>>61229560
I'd say so
>At a total cost of about $2 million, the AFRL estimates the cluster costs something like five to 10 percent of equivalent computers built from scratch. It also consumes just 10 percent of the power.

>when game consoles were actually good
>didnt need shit load of updates
>games were not unfinished shit

where did everything go so wrong after ps2 and the competitors of it, ps2 was awesome

>>61230909
If that were the case one would expect to see much slower curves of increasing usage (like the pre-gamergate growth), not large spikes or stair-climbing.

>>61229335

Only a someone from reddit would mistake the correct formatting of paragraphs as something from reddit. You sir have simultaneously confirmed your redditness and your stupidity

>>61228505
you are a phoneposter, therefore you must leave

>>61230936
large, permanent storage + always-on broadband internet = feasability to patch games easily and cheaply, which in turn makes it easier to devs to rush things out and "fix it later"
there's no huge recall+remanufacture needed to fix a console game like back in the day, the risk is far lower

>>61229388
That's what the PS3 did.

>>61231673
So if piracy isn't the problem, why don't they allow people to install Linux anymore?
And i mean a proper implementation not an unofficial workaround on the PS4.

>>61231274
and yet all we get is unfinished shit and DLC ridden crap games, not many modern games appeal to me. maybe because im getting older, i dont know man but PS2 has a special place in my heart, this console was awesome and a big part of my teenager age, and modern shit just doesnt appeal to me anymore when it comes to games

>>61228505

>>61231673
There was a class action lawsuit against Sony when they announced they would void your warranty if you installed Linux on the PS3. Not sure why they changed their minds like that.

>>61230936
There's a 300+ reply thread on /vr/ right now saying why that generation was the beginning of the end.

>>61231939
same, i didn't even get a 360 or ps3
those just pushed me more towards older systems and games, which i've found to be much more interesting

>>61229500
I've measured the amount of bullshit.

>>61231150
I've never been to reddit. I do know that formatting posts that way is quite annoying though. And no, that's not correct formatting. You don't switch between single and double spacing.
>You sir

pretty sure they said that because they were bleeding money with companies and the navy buying so many PS3s

it's not

and two because it just gets used to hack the system and pirate vidya, which is concerning to companies that sell stripped down gaming PC's for a loss and make it up on game sales and software subscriptions.

>>61239211
This invalidates your premise that you must not be a liar.

>>61230909
It's because normies don't browse these websites on their laptops.
Most normies use their phone for EVERYTHING, music, youtube, watching movies, browsing plebbit and/or 4chan, talking to people, everything.

There's a Linux hack from ps4. Problem is the current gen console Cpus are shit, not really any faster than last gen. The gpus are OK, very low end in the standard model and mid tier in the pro/x versions.

But Linux isn't for games anyways.
