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:
- Best hard drives to use (internal and/or USB3)?
- Can the RAM be upgraded?
- Can the Bluray be replaced with a hard drive?
- Anything else I’m missing and don’t know to ask about?
Thanks!
I think there’s a bit of confusion due to Microsoft’s insane naming conventions. These consoles exist:
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.
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
