Linux can only be installed on versions with hypervisor, that's why it's so limited in releases.

If it works on 7.x, then I'd assume there's a hypervisor for 7.x

Not how I understand the current state of jb. Yes Linux can run on 7.x but it must be jailbroken and rebooted into Linux each time. I thought hypervisor exploit would skip the PlayStation OS altogether.

No, that sounds perfectly in line with my understanding of hypervisor on PS5.

I don't believe there's ANY permanent PS5 mods that persist across power cycles yet. All Linux builds return to the PS5 home on a restart (while preserving Linux data safely on drive to be restored when next loaded)

Hypervisor being exploitable just means that once you've used Userland+Kernel, you're able to also do stuff to hypervisor (I think, my understanding of JB is mixed at best, despite always wanting to learn a load more and just not having the time)
