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!

Xbox One Series X or S

I think there's a bit of confusion due to Microsoft's insane naming conventions. These consoles exist:

  1. Xbox One
  2. Xbox One X
  3. Xbox Series S
  4. Xbox Series X

OP is talking about (2).

Technically there has been an exploit found:

But it might be only for (1) and it's not clear if there's a practical way to use it yet.

    I've wondered about the names for years, never enough to search it. They really did a godawful job. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 works as does adding Super or whatever. Thanks for listing them out

    Its worse.

    • Xbox
    • Xbox 360
    • Xbox One
    • Xbox One S|X
    • Xbox Series S|X

    I am expecting the next generation to be Xbox Series 2 X|S

    Ah, dang. Yeah I worded mine to mean the Series X because I thought they were talking about that. I forgot about the non Series X.

    On that exploit, yeah I think it's just the first Xbox One. And given it's soldering and applying voltages right to the chip, and it's nowhere near developed to booting a different OS, it might as well be non-existent at this point
