The antminer s9i achieves slightly better stats than the s9 but uses the same hardware. Is their a way to put s9i software and firmware on an s9? Also I am used to the Linux operating system and flashing images etc. Would I be able to do this myself?

You need some software engineer to do so. Because its like installing a different IOS version on iPhone. You can do it but you need someone from Apple or an expert to do that. anyway, after all, you would save only 1$/m extra since the new software saving 20 watts less than s9 software that's the only difference.
1I am used to Linux operating systems and flashing images. What do you mean by a software engineer. Is there a way to get the s9i os. @Adam could I potentially install it myself? – Learn2Mine – 2018-05-20T18:37:53.090
1Sorry for being busy, Yes you can install it by yourself it's not that hard, but you need to clone it first into an image then u can install it. – Adam – 2018-05-22T21:48:54.767
do you know where I could get the image for an s9i? – Learn2Mine – 2018-05-23T02:05:08.683
Not really, if I would clone it for you but I don't have s9i. – Adam – 2018-05-23T10:13:58.513
The firmwares are freely available to download from Bitmain, or are you referring to some other part of the OS that isn't normally accessible? – Ken Sharp – 2018-08-17T11:22:43.283
1@KenSharp The S9i firmware hadn't yet been published to Bitmain's site in May. – Timtech – 2018-08-27T19:36:24.243
