Will the game be supported on linux? I was looking at hosting a server for friends. But the longer term question is how will hosted servers play into the console angle on things?

I ran an enemy territory vps for a decade with no real issues once the security was set. Chroot jails are fun especially since i also ran teamspeak in a separate chroot with a sub mysql chroot on the same box.
 
The game runs native on Linux, and I get better average performance than on Windows.

For dedicated servers you will not only see a notable performance increase of 10-15% on like hardware versus Windows, but you also have much better server management through scripts, cron, and systemd. My personal favorite set of scripts for running the servers is LGSM.

Once the cross play is working will this be able to be hosted so my psn friends can use it?

And any other recommended plugins or mods for ease of management?

That is the whole definition of cross-platform play. If Sony and MS ever get around to approving it for dedicated servers. There is already an option to enable the capability in the server config that was added in 1.3 because it was anticipated to be approved, but it hasn't happened yet.

As for server plugins/mods there is a Pinned thread in the Multiplayer section with dedicated server management tools. My personal preferences were ST, CPM, and CSMM, but you can find what fits you the best.

And is there a source code i can compile from or is it a flatpak installer?

No, and you would not want to use those anyway. Flatpak's are notorious for causing issues. Just do it the same as everyone else does with SteamCMD.
 
Looks like 7dac.net would be the better free admin option.

Based on what i am being told i will need to install with steamcmd then i will need to see if i can make it run inside a chroot jail structure.

Chroot jails sandbox the app with an associated user account so even if they break out of the app all they can do is relaunch the app.
