(my mega.nz reuploads):
oberdfr’s 6.17.2 kernel
It addresses some issues with EDID loading, that might help with blackscreen.

My recommended distros:
(Don’t use QBA’s CachyOS for the sake of god.)
- Arch Linux (by Erkkola): https://github.com/ErkkolaMaitohappo/arch-ps4-aur-smth-fork/releases/
- CachyOS Light (by Dionkill): https://ps4linux.com/forums/d/422-cachyos-light-lxqt-a-light-and-fast-distro
If you like Arch but you don’t want to set all up, you use it. It is a great choice.
Debian based:
- Debian Trixie (by triki1): https://ps4linux.com/forums/d/369-debien-trixie-full-update-mesa-2520-devel
- Linux Mint 22.1 (by saya): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MVokdmlNezc
- Debian Sid (by triki1): https://ps4linux.com/forums/d/373-debian-forky-sid
- Debian Kali (by triki1): https://ps4linux.com/forums/d/392-debian-forky-kali-linux-edition
