I might be showing a lot of unc energy here, but if you can't afford a raspberry pi or something to play with linux, or a used pc, gaming and having a playstation 5 should be de prioritized for a bit while you get your life together.

Your comment is framed as though Linux usage and what you deem an unstable lifestyle (lack of monetary means in your judgment) are mutually exclusive. Open-source software is for everybody, including the messy or disenfranchised. Would you frame a kid who got a PS5 for Christmas who doesn't have an allowance or job as a failure because they don't have $100 to spend on a Pi? It sounds like you just look down on people playing video games even when they want to use the very thing you're implicitly deriding to do the thing that you think they should be doing... doesn't seem to make a lot of sense.
Is someone who owns a PS5 but can't put together $100 a failure? Assuming they are older than 16, unqualified yes. They are a failure and also a loser by any colloquial definition. TLC refers to them as a scrub. Their romantic partners' parents are gently encouraging them to end the relationship. There are almost certainly more than 7 empty cans within easy reach of wherever they are sitting right now.
