Wasn't there some exposed boot loader keys for the PS5? I'm somewhat hoping to turn my PS into a Linux steam box one day...

Unfortunately I still want to play games on it until then, so I won't prevent firmware updates, yet.

I'm definitely not in the market for a PS6 (when it will be released) however.

    Yes you can! It is however dependent on the firmware level. Check: https://github.com/ps5-linux/ps5-linux-loader

    I know about that, unfortunately I'm on the latest system software - I did only recently turn off automated updates.

    And IIRC my PS+ subscription (which I still use) will try to force me to update when a new version is out.

    So, should I disable PS+ just for the hope the Linux Bootloader will catch up to my system software version? That's why I hope for an (unpatchable) boot exploit.
