The lead developer of the PS5 Linux project has abandoned ship: 'It is just a bunch of noobs using LLMs and writing hacks they don't even understand':
The lead developer of the PS5 Linux project, Andy Nguyen, has abandoned the open-source initiative, announcing on X that he is stepping away from the PS5 scene and ceasing work on the project. Nguyen expressed disappointment in the current state of the project, stating that it has deteriorated into a group of inexperienced individuals relying on artificial intelligence and writing hacks they don't fully comprehend.
He had poured his heart and months of his life into the project, including plans to extend support to the PS5 Pro and release the software in 2027. However, the project's decline has been attributed to the influx of less skilled contributors, who found the only remaining hypervisor bug left and promptly reported it to Sony. This action may lead to a patch from Sony, effectively ending the project.
