What are some interesting devices powered by Linux?

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

Parrot’s older consumer drones. They took really long to power up, and ran very hot.

I believe you could telnet into them too, although that was later discovered to be a bug and not a feature

Hotzilla,

I know at least few components in the power grid that run on top of linux

Passenger information systems in public transport. Some might run some kind of embedded windows, but most run on Linux. Certainly here in Czechia, but I believe it’s common at east throughout the Central Europe.

ScottE,

Pretty much everything that’s running on a microprocessor (i.e. larger than a microcontroller) and not from Microsoft or Apple.
