I've never had an xbox before, so pardon my ignorance. But you can install linux OS's on xbox?

[–] Psaldorn@lemmy.world 58 points 1 week ago (1 children)

You can get game pass for PC so, probably that way around

[–] Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 8 points 1 week ago

Ah, ok. That makes more sense.

Well, not on a modern Xbox. On the OG XBox however...

Ah, ok. I mean, it doesn't even make sense, right? Could you image??? So I'll just pass this info along to whomever it was that was so stupid they thought that was possible....what an idiot!

Hey, you can put Linux on many handheld gaming machines like like ASUS ROG Ally (like Bazzite OS for instance) and there are a few Linux systems that aim to fully emulate a console experience on PC. All Android phones run on Linux and you can get custom OS's if you root them, like Lineage. So it's not such a silly idea!

And the Wii can be Linuxed, if you get creative enough. Source: former roommate did it

There quite a handful of IoT devices out there that will run Linux too. Many of them, in fact, run BSD by default
