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

AKAI MPC standalones running some kind of Linux flavor niklasnisbeth.gitlab.io/mpc-internals/

Too bad they won’t release their DAW software for Linux desktops.

carcus,

Ableton’s Push 3 standalone runs Linux too. Same gripe about their DAW as well.

Hotzilla,

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

lemann,

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

merc,

Google

Arch is the hot one, Debian is the girl next door, NixOS is the cute barista down the street.

Kali has three kids and smokes (but every once in a while…)

RagingRobot,
