    Nope, the Xbox 360 is still very much secure afaik. No easy modifications for it. And even then, the mods don't give access to the entire system afaik. also this forum is more suited to your query so moved it over..

    The Xbox 360 uses a PowerPC CPU while Android uses ARM so there'll be no Android.

    Linux is possible through the Free60 project but it's much more difficult to get it even close to resembling the same experience as desktop linux, especially when it comes to accessing the GPU. You will have to install a modchip to get Free60 to work. Personally I've never saw the attraction, it seems like hardship.
