Is it possible to turn my PS3 into a PC or it will be turned in trash ?

NO, that was for the older models. They removed the ability to do that with updates.

Also performance was shit, even back then when PS3 hardware was considered top tier.

Because Sony severely limited access to the hardware, including walling off the GPU entirely. I believe some progress was made in terms of accessing the RSX, but ultimately it's all just pointless. There's zero compelling reason to use a PS3 to run Linux.

This.

Performance was pretty great for parallel processing when it was new, the PS3's processor is a 6 core PPC. People eventually figured out how to break out of the hypervisor too.
There was a period when it was cheaper to buy a few PS3s instead of an actual server. That contributed to the removal of otherOS since they sold at a loss and the people buying PS3s in bulk never bought games.

It IS already underpowered trash, just like the PS4

First "succesfull attempt of running pirated games on PS3 was by installing linux on it, then running a windows xp VM and playing games trough that.
Good times
