So it had linux support. However all the software you normally run on a ps3 (games etc) aren't running on linux but on a Sony proprietary OS which exposes C APIs to developpers. Linux was running virtualized on this OS in a way  |
The PS3 OS is based on FreeBSD and other software, including some GNU software. The Linux option was actual Linux on the actual hardware; however, to boot it, you had to chainload from the firmware. When the firmware was updated, the dual-boot capability was removed.
