   idea: using reactos, an open source xbox 360
   the hardware (gpu, ram, etc) could even be more powerful since the cpu is so good

     @tauon The xbox 360 has a bunch of digital handcuffs and only a few of them have been handcuffed, so I'm not sure porting ReactOS with the software being all source-available will be possible.
     
     The CPU isn't even that good and ReactOS doesn't even support PowerPC;

     They only come with 512MB of RAM, which really isn't enough and having to get a devkit or solder on some more RAM isn't really reasonable.
     
     
     You're better off porting GNU/Linux-libre if you want to port an OS.
