Hello, I’m checking if it’s feasible to run Steam OS on an Xbox 360. I mainly play PC games but have this console in the living room that I rarely use. Both devices connect to the internet through Ethernet. My aim isn’t to use the console’s hardware directly for gaming, but rather to stream games from my PC using Steam on the console. I’m open to trying it and understand there’s a risk if I damage the device, though I don’t expect major consequences.

No, that won't function. The 360 isn't strong enough to operate it correctly.

I suspect you might have encountered Linux on a 360, which could be interesting... but I'm not sure if it would work well for gaming. Running Linux on the PS3 was quite slow, like trying to play a game while juggling multiple tasks at once.

It's more than just a console; the chip isn't compatible with SteamOS since it uses PowerPC, not x86.

That's disappointing: I wasn't expecting it to handle gameplay, so I thought I'd watch the streams instead.

Do you own a laptop? Connect it to your TV for home streaming. The main obstacle is your internet connection, especially the router.

Make sure you have complete BIOS access before proceeding. Then configure it to boot from USB. Additionally, the Xbox 360 uses an unusual architecture that isn't compatible with the Linux kernel.
