Here’s a few that I know of. What other things are commonly running Linux that most people may but be aware of?
- Ingenuity (helicopter drone on Mars)
- Smart TVs and streaming devices (Samsung’s TizenOS and Roku devices)
- Smart appliances (Samsung’s smart refrigerator)
- Digital signs and billboards
- My car stereo (Sony XAV-AX6000)
- The Large Hadron Collider
- FAA Air traffic control and radar systems
- Self driving cars
The thin piece of electronics in my hand that I’m typing this on
All 3 billion Android devices in the world. It’s pretty crazy when you think about it. Also 96% of the top 1 million web servers and all of the 500 fastest super computers (excluding quantum) in the world.
What are the quantum computers running? Also, please tell me they can run Doom.
afaik quantum computers don’t run operative systems, they are programmed to do exactly one thing.
And no, they can’t run Doom.
If Doom can run on pregnancy tests and IKEA light bulbs, it must be possible to run it on the most advanced kind of computer known to mankind I guess
Pretty much everything that’s running on a microprocessor (i.e. larger than a microcontroller) and not from Microsoft or Apple.
Cars. Either entertainment system or navigation or more…
BMW has quite the list of licences for opensource libraries and Linux in the about section of the car-menu.
And more and more network equipment.
BMW requires you to go the written notice path and they send you a DVD with the sources
