Use the following command to mount the EFI partition to the Z: drive. Run 7-Zip File Manager under Admin and extract Clover to drive Z. With these simple steps, you can install the Clover Bootloader on Windows and Linux without using the installer on macOS. Mac Linux USB Loader has been tested with Ubuntu and its derivatives but it should work with other distros as well. It is still in beta stage so there can be some issues though. I don't have a Mac so I couldn't test it but if anyone is interested in using the app, check it out on GitHub. UNetbootin doesn't use distribution-specific rules for making your live USB drive, so most Linux ISO files should load correctly using this option. However, not all distributions support booting from USB, and some others require extra boot options or other modifications before they can boot from USB drives, so these ISO files will not work as-is.
A few days back PlayStation 4 developer kr105 released a PS4 Linux Loader Patch for 1.76 Firmware, and here's a follow-up PS4 Linux Installation Guide detailing how to install and run PS4 Linux from D-ecks via Wololo.A very simple and free bootloader and boot manager for booting UNIX-like operating systems. LILO is a completely free, cross-platform and open source command-line software project that has been designed from the ground up to act as a bootloader/boot manager for booting GNU/Linux and UNIX-like operating systems installed on a personal computer.

Troubleshooting
“Not Enough System Memory” error when trying to launch Linux:
- Make sure you’re on firmware 1.76. The exploits have some hardcoded values that will not work on lower firmwares. You can get the 1.76 update file from here.
- If you’re on 1.76 but still have the issue, some people are recommending that you reboot your PS4 before trying again.
- Others say you might have to go into safemode: safemode [Initialize PS4 (Reinstall System Software)] with the PS4UPDATE.PUP (1.76 Recovery)

There are two ways to get web-browser works:
1. Edit HOSTS file on you router. You need router with OpenWRT, DD-WRT firmwares or any firmware that's allow you to edit /etc/hosts file on router. Add string below at the end of HOSTS file:
Then open: Settings -> User's guide
2. Without editing hosts. You need open Users's guide then scroll to page footer, click 'support', on next page click Sony logo (not PS!) , scroll to footer, press G+ and go to g+ page, click on menu in top-right corner, select google search.
If you don't see G+ icon - change country on sony's main site to Russia or Turkey or United Kingdom.
