In PS5 Hacking news today, at the HardWear.io Conference 2022 (Official Site) hacker theflow0 presented a BD-JB: Blu-ray Disc Java Sandbox Escape affecting PlayStation 5 consoles below 5.00 PS5 Firmware (alongside PS3 and PlayStation 4 consoles under 9.50 PS4 Firmware) but consequently NOT allowing PS5 Game Backups burned on Blu-ray Disc to be ran without a kernel exploit due to JIT capabilities being present... later clarifying, "because we don't have enough RAM in the BD-J process and there are some other constraints. It was only a theoretical impact."

Proceeding the WinesapOS 3 with Mesa 22.0.3 PS4 Distro, PlayStation 4 Scene developer @noob404 recently updated his PS4Linux.com blog and PS4Linux YouTube Channel with a video tutorial for installing Steam Deck UI on any PS4 Linux Distro alongside setup instructions courtesy of Skylect, to quote:

SteamDeckUI Instructions for Arch-based PS4 Linux Distros

Instructions to setup Steam DeckUI. This has been tested on vanilla manjaro on a Macbook Pro, SteamOS 3 by Nazky and Manjaro by darkstorm.

1. Install gamescope
2. Install Steam, log in and go to settings, Steam Play and enable all other titles with Proton Experimental.
   Steam will want to restart. Allow it.
3. In a terminal window run:
   Code:

   steam -steamos3 -steamdeck -gamepadui

   This may fail with a download error or a statement of no internet. Ignore this and re-run the command. You should get an update. Let this install.
4. Once it's done you may get the download/internet error again, this is okay as the update we needed did install.
5. Close the DeckUI window if one was open. Ctrl+C in the terminal will do this or the x on the window.
6. In terminal run:
   Code:

   steam -gamepadui

   Steam should simply launch the DeckUI. If it asks for an update of around 190,000KB (at time of writing) cancel it or Ctrl+C the terminal window. If you get the update screen simply proceed to the next step, as long as it didnt fully download.
7. Once the DeckUI has loaded, close it and in terminal run:
   Code:

   gamescope -e -h 1080 -f -- steam -gamepadui -noverifyfiles

   The DeckUI should load now in full screen.

There will be a .sh file attached that simply runs this command. In order to close it, Alt+Tab to the terminal and Ctrl+C. Exit to Desktop is not working as far as I can tell. Do not take another update or you will most likely get a black screen on launch with gamescope.

If you do launch to a black screen, start this guide from the $ and make sure you only download the first update...

This Campaign is set to be an incredible experience on numerous levels: offshore sieges with underwater combat, all-out explosive assaults from 30,000 feet above enemy strongholds, and high-stakes, low-profile stealth missions.

Deploying alongside you are iconic squadmates: Team leader Captain John Price; seasoned sergeant Kyle “Gaz” Garrick; the lone wolf himself, fan-favorite Simon “Ghost” Riley; fearless Sergeant John “Soap” MacTavish; as well as the newest team member, Colonel Alejandro Vargas, an incorruptible Tier 1 Operator and member of the Mexican Special Forces.
