Community rules (click to expand)

1. Follow the site-wide rules

2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
    • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
    • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

    • Please report posts and comments that break these rules!

    Seems like that's a Windows issue and not Xbox. There was a recently released kernel exploit for Xbox, but it's sandboxed to the SystemOS.

    If you want to pwn the Xbox OS entirely, you would need a hypervisor escape exploit, which is very difficult to accomplish.

    That's gaming services, so I guess it's windows only then, you're right. Like I said, no idea regarding anything about current consoles for me. Haven't played on a console since the 360.

    Are you familiar with QubesOS? It has a similar security model to the Xbox consoles.

    Basically, the host OS only exists to run VMs, which includes separate VMs for networking, USB devices, applications, etc. With QubesOS, you can also pass through something like a GPU for use in a dedicated gaming VM (although you can do that on any Linux distro).

    Plenty familiar with qubes, just not familiar with any current consoles.
