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 guess you could wait until it is cracked. But by then, I think it is best to use a old pc.

You say also if RAM can be upgraded. Consoles are not like PCs in terms of customizations. Only the old ones that have been cracked. You can't.

But your enthusiasm is there. That's cool.
