alt Hacker NewsSo society laughed at Sony for restricting the OS on the PS5 and refused to buy it? Because I'm pretty sure one person going through a ridiculous effort to install linux isn't reflective of society rejecting the restriction.
92.2M units sold, as of today 1 unit? running Linux.

“Society rejecting the restriction” huh? Someone proved you wrong, you need more than one person to do it now? Goal posts, moved.
Not everything needs to have political, teenage angst applied to it.

I think you are misinterpreting that number. It would be better read as "as of today, the first PS5 running Linux". There were people running racks of PS3s as Linux servers back in the day not as gaming stations but compute using its hardware. People will do crazy things. Do not write them off.
