Hi everyone I so I read somewhere that downloading Linux to PS3 is gone is there still a way to do this? Cuz my idea is for my friend to get him to be able to play apex legends through Linux cuz Im pretty sure a PS3 could run it atleast ,in 720p

Any tips or anything you can offer would be great thanx

Me and a friend installed YellowDog Linux and another distribution quite a few years ago on a jailbroken PS3. The repositories weren't being updated back then, they won't be now. We planned to install FreeBSD since the only driver that allowed you to unlock to potential of the PS3 processing chip (Uncharted games use CPU to render graphics as well as GPU) however we never followed through despite having much experience with FreeBSD 8.3. You don't need a beefy PC to play APEX, I play it on a budget rig I made from spare parts from my servers. Using Linux on the PS3 to play games isn't the way to go about it.
