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!

    Years ago, I had the option of the 7020 or the lenovo m93p tiny.

    I chose…poorly.

    Well, poorly by sane standards. Perfectly sane by “squeeze blood from stone” standards. For better or worse, I fell in love with the usFF PC and turn my nose up at anything over 2L case size now. Too big, too loud, too hot.

    Speaking of, I’m having a powerful urge to replace my smart phone with this now

    Why? Its a sickness. But damn…how cool would that thing be with your own apps? A modern day PDA, with WiFi, LoRA, BT? Battery life measured in weeks? Hell, I could gut my old Psion 5, throw this in…chefs kiss.
