Linux via OtherOS[edit | edit source]
Just install Linux and run apps on it.
Since PS3 1.60 up until 3.20: officially supported as OtherOS.
Since PS3 3.21 up until 3.55: no longer officially supported, but made possible with custom firmwares, see OtherOS++ and AsbestOS (http://marcansoft.com/blog/2010/10/asbestos-running-linux-as-gameos/).
On any PS3 version (but currently only implemented for 4.70 and later): Linux can be launched via low level exploits, notably the HTAB vulnerability.
