Fedora Linux on PS4 1.76 with Debug Settings & Steam by EdiTzZ MoDz
We've covered several PS4 Linux Guides and Progress in recent months detailing How to Install Steam on PS4 Linux, and now PlayStation 4 modder EdiTzZ MoDz of Editzz.net shared a video demonstration of Fedora Linux on PS4 1.76 featuring PS4 Debug Settings and Steam. 
He also has a PS4 Playground page set up for PlayStation 4 developers, and from the video's caption:
[PS4/1.76] Working Fedora Linux on PS4 [Play on Steam, Debug Settings]
It's been a while since I uploaded a video
PS3 Modding Scene is nearly dead...
For PS4 there aren't many things to show...
But I'm sure there will be more to show
In this video I'm showing Fedora Linux with Radeon Patches and Steam Installed. This is nothing new... But one of the only things I can show (for now).
Cheers to @HydrogenNGU for sharing the news on Twitter earlier today!

Rumored PlayStation Switch Type Device Uncovered in Sony Patent
Today ponpo ran across a patent that leave some speculating as to whether Sony is planning on introducing a rumored PlayStation Switch type device such as a PSP Switch or PS Vita Switch similar to the Nintendo Switch. 
The patent is from 2015, however, it has just recently been published according to IGN.
To quote: "Like Nintendo Switch, the device looks very much like a tablet with two controller halves on either side, but instead of Joy-Cons flanking the screen, the half-controllers on either side of the device look like the handles on a DualShock 4."
Would anyone be interested in a PlayStation Switch type device for both home and mobile PlayStation gaming, or would you prefer something like the Playbook 4 instead?
Let us know in the comments below, and thanks to @Jeff and @LightningMods in the PSXHAX Shoutbox for the news tip!
