As you all might know, the Fedora team recently released the latest stable release of Fedora 36. For the uninformed, Nobara Project is an unofficial fork of Fedora OS, made by Glorious Eggroll, the dev behin GE-Proton. Anyways, now, we have Nobara 36 for PS4. With this release, it’s safe to say that the PS4 scene doesn’t suffer from a lack of distros. Don’t believe me? Check the PS4 Linux Distro Download section.
Coming back to Nobara, last month, I had released Nobara 35 for PS4. The distinguishing features of this awesome project remain more or less the same. We have tons of pre-installed applications. A list of the same is available below. Moreover, OBS Studio is also available. You might also look into streaming/recording with PS4 Linux.
By the way, I would also like to inform you guys of the new PS4Linux Forum. Do join for the latest conversations, troubleshooting and more.
Features
- Display Manager – GNOME 42.1
- Mesa – 23.0.0-git
- Libdrm – 2.4.110
- Feature-packed OS for gaming, streaming and editing
Included applications
Gaming applications

And many more…
As you might have noticed, I have added Heroic Games Launcher to the list, to make it easier for you guys to launch the games on Epic Store. Moreover, Nobara 36 also comes pre-installed with ProtonUp-Qt, which makes downloading and loading GE-Proton easier on Steam and Heroic Games launcher too.

Nobara OS 36 on PS4: Showcase Video
Among other things, in the video, you will also find the gameplay of the game – Control, launched using Heroic Games Launcher. Enjoy!
Installation: How to install Nobara 36 on PS4?
Like the earlier version of Nobara and Pop OS, the usual installation method ends up in errors. So, I suggest using the faster alternate method for installation.
As for the Rufus method, I will upload them when I have the time.
Set up persistent swap space (Optional, but recommended)
I always recommend the user to set up swap space before beginning any demanding activities on the distro, like gaming or streaming. Including a swap space with the distro will increase the download size. That is why, you will have to do it manually. Here are the steps to set up a persistent swap space on Ps4 Linux distros.
Conclusion
More distros and cool stuff for PS4 Linux is on the way. Join us on social media and the all-new forum so that you don’t miss out. Let me know in the comments or on the forum thread if you do face any errors.

Hello, i have problem with Flatpak and goverlay and others not opening. Is there any solution ?
Hi, there is problem with update… it repo source is in blocked region due to Ukrain war and it is not possible to update nobara 36.. and also some error: Errors during downloading metadata for repository ‘updates’:
– Downloading successful, but checksum doesn’t match.
What command are you running?
sudo dnf update -x kernel*,libdrm*,mesa*,xorg-x11-drv-a*
Yesterday i sold mine ps4 9.00, i want to thank you for the hard work and letting me enjoy linux on ps4, who knows maybe i will get one someday to have in my sleeping room, great thanks again!
hello I have installed my ps4 nobara 36 but when I give the command glxinfo as core opengl it comes out 4.5 and not 4.6 as in your video, why? do i need to update them?
Do not update. It shouldn’t matter a lot, as our constant attempt is to make Vulkan work instead of OpenGL.
Ok grazie mille,era una curiosità personale volevo aggiornarli ma non so come per poter usare yuzu con opengl,e anche perché mi piacerebbe imparare a farlo,se puoi mi spieghi come fare? Oppure dove potrei reperire informazioni a riguardo senza rovinare la distribuzione per ps4 , grazie in anticipo, è meraviglioso il lavoro che fai☺️💪

Noob 404, can you please make a guide on how to run final fantasy 7 remake intergrade on nobara 36. I’m pretty troubled with trying to even start, less play it
I am sorry, I don’t own the game.
On PS4 pro Belize boot only with 4.14 kernel and black screen after enter the password “ps4” in the login window,
I tryed many other kernels on 5.3 Belize i can see only boot logs text but black screen after this no login window,
on 5,15 Belize black screen even no booy logs text.
It seems my PS4pro Belize can work only with PSXita distro and 4,14 kernel!
Any other PS4 pro Belize kernel 5xx me to try anyone ?
Just saw your comment. Yeah no problem bro. I’m just having too much flickering textures on it
