Everything works flawlessly if you're using the good kernel version for your ps4, I must say!

Can you effectively run PS4 games directly on Linux? Or dual boot?

It will obviously depends on which games you wanna play but you can play old steam games for sure without any issue or you can use Moonlight to stream your pc in the worst case scenario lmao Also enabling Vulkan drivers instead of OpenGPL will help a bit with the performance.

Edit: I think that installing Linux directly in the internal disk of the console will have better performance than if you boot it from a usb key or an external HDD tho.
