I have an old Xbox One X (the 1tb model) that I would love to turn into a Linux box to do self hosting. While I do my best to find tutorials online for installing Linux, I was hoping I could pick y’all’s brains on your experiences for upgrading:

  1. Best hard drives to use (internal and/or USB3)?
  2. Can the RAM be upgraded?
  3. Can the Bluray be replaced with a hard drive?
  4. Anything else I’m missing and don’t know to ask about?

Thanks!

I tried this a long time ago. My conclusion was that there is not really a way to install Linux on the Xbox One. There have been reports that have run Linux inside of a jail/VM, but things don't seem to mesh correctly like network connectivity. There is a whole hacking and modding the boot chain. I gave up. LOL

Perhaps there has been progress since I last tried. Also, very possible, I didn't have the skills to pull it off. Perhaps someone else will chime in.
