Is it legal to install linux on an Xbox 1?

There is an way to convert xbox so that it can run linux and that it turns the xbox into an pc but if you update xbox through xbox live it wont let you install linux.





So im wondering if it is legal to install linux on xbox, if it breaks the terms of use or not.

You will certainly void any warranty on the Xbox if you mess with the O.S., but it isn't illegal as long as you paid for that copy of Linux (or if it's in the public domain). That machine is your property, and Microsoft doesn't own it even if they might think they do.
Reply:Legal? Well you won't get sent to jail for modding your Xbox. It's your property, you can do what you want to with it. So it's not illegal.





Like the others said though, if you game online with it, you may get caught with a modded system and banned from Xbox Live. You won't get the FBI sent to your house or anything though.
Reply:yes
Reply:yea its illegal. modifying the xbox or any game in any way is illegal. you will get baned from xbox live too if you keep doing it... i know i did...
Reply:well, yes you can legally... however somethings you do with the console afterwards may not be. However you do know that when they mod the xbox it is only the linux kernel not the full operating system, your console will not become a fully functioning pc. NEVER GO ON LIVE though, they don't like you messing with their stuff.
Reply:The terms of use? You payed for it if you dismantled it and turned it into a xbox toaster its yours and everything inside and out is yours to play with.
