#12Framebuffer and KMS working. I wonder if the radeon driver could be patched among the Xorg one to get some 3D acceleration support.

#13Also , I forgot to say once USB support is completted , a huge array of HW could be attached to the PS4, because these drivers on Linux are cross-platform.

#14Excellent demo. Furthermore, this scene in particular (at the 3 min 45 second mark) really brings home the achievement: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2A7V3GLWF6U&t=225
The emulator? Not particularly difficult, once you have generic drivers for audio and a framebuffer support. Is the same emulator you have on Linux/Windows/OSX PC's .
Just recompile and you are welcome.

#16I don't have any idea what I'm talking about, but it is mostly PC-like architecture with mostly FreeBSD running on it, right? Nothing really interesting, unlike it was with Cell processor. They are not even subsidizing the hardware anymore, as I understand it, they sell it for about the same it costs to produce.
Looking at some component prices, you could probably assemble a passable gaming PC for under $350, so at $300 for a PS4 it does seem likely that Sony isn't losing money on console sales.
Was it is a loss leader when it was released, and now hardware has caught up?

According to one analysis, when it launched, the console cost $381 to manufacture and was being sold for $400: http://press.ihs.com/press-release/design-supply-chain-media...
Re: Fai0verflow: Linux on the PS4 [video]
#18Would it be possible to achieve the opposite in some way?, I mean, dump the kernel and build it on a pc on top of a compatible hardware?
Let me know what you think

Considering that tweet it's totally possible:

Xorg changes not really required because AMD GPUs work just fine on top of modesetting driver.

The achievement I was referring to was putting Linux on the PS4 so quickly after the console was jail broken.
The emulator itself was a great visual demonstration of "the full linux desktop experience" as opposed to listing "Can emulate video games" as a bullet point.
