OtherOS can only be used on "old" PS3 which do not have have their
firmware upgraded past version 3.21, released April 1, 2010 [0].
It was not possible to install OtherOS on PS3-slim and I don't remember
if it was a successor or a budget version (but it had lower power
consumption as per my memory).
*I* remember from back then that a few universities bought quite a few
of them and used them as a computation cluster. However, whatever broke
over the last 10 years is broken.
