Hacking [Question] Best performing Linux distro for PS4?

[CrazySquid]

Hi, does anyone know what it's the best performing Linux distro for PS4? I like PSXITARCH, but I'm not sure about it since I'm a noob.
It's the performance good? I want to run Citra and see if I can get fullspeed emulation of the 3DS there, I know Cemu for example runs, not very good, but it runs, I'm not sure if Citra would run well.
Thanks.

Gentoo is a way better than PSXITARCH... I think.

You gotta try those emulators yourself. We haven't tried it.

Thank you! Yeah, I will try it later to see how it performs, I saw that there were hacked versions of Citra for Windows which has performance boosts, but I didn't found Linux versions... and I don't think it would be a good idea to use Wine for that either.
I'm pretty much a noob with Linux, but I guess that these distros already has all the stuff ready for the PS4!.

i hear the latest version of Fedora is pretty good (maybe even the best)
if you test both Gentoo and Fedora please let me know which is best.

Yeah.. Fedora seems very good one as well. Why don't you test it too. I haven't tried it either but I will when I am ready this week or next week. Yeah, you dont want to wait huh ? LOL. Try it yourself. Its fun to experience.

Hi, I am wondering if I can install any distro or does it need to be made to support the PS4? I was thinking ChimeraOS would be great on the PS4. It supports Steam, GOG and Epic games, as well as emulators. Basically it is a souped up SteamOS with a very up-to-date version of Proton. This is pretty big as recent Proton updates brought OFFICIAL support for Battle-eye and Easy Anti-Cheat (what Fortnite uses), though not yet perfected, it still means online gameplay on the PS4 is viable. Lastly and most cooly, Chimera uses a web interface that you access from your browser entering the ChimeraOS device's local IP, then signing in and allowing you to import your PC Games library/emulators/ROMs etc.

No, I don't work on this OS, I am not a 'nux fanboy either, I have done some research on the most noob friendly gaming oriented 'nux distro and found this, which is a successor of GamerOS which is a branch of SteamOS and I really would LOVE to see this on the PS4. PLUS+ with the SteamDeck on the horizon and SteamOS being open-sourced, the improvements of SteamOS will carry over to other branches, like this...when updated that is.
