Yeah, I’m starting to realize this via my research. This is very disappointing (but not surprising).
What a waste.
Comment on Xbox One X to Linux Questions

You can’t put Linux on an Xbox One Series X. The security system prevents running unsigned code and the bootloader will only boot the Xbox operating system. There has never been an exploit found for the Xbox One Series X or S for unlocking the bootloader.

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.

And this is why we don’t buy consoles.

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:
tomshardware.com/…/microsofts-unhackable-xbox-one…
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 & One S|X Xbox Series S|X
I am expecting the next generation to be Xbox Series 2 X|S
It should be Xbox Parallel X|S

Why do they suck so much at branding? I have no idea which is newer or more powerful. Just call it Copilot Games + number from now on.

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

They can use it bit it will take around 10 years or so
