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

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…)

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

rodbiren,

I was product manager at a company that made PTZ cameras based on Linux. The company was acquired a few times but still actually manufactures them in Minnetonka MN. Kind of fun working at a place the had development, manufacturing, support and engineering in one building.

How do you rate these cameras against the competition?

rodbiren, (edited )

Well, it turns out only a handful of companies actually make image modules. I would say it is better in terms of US based support, firmware, hardware design, and the fact it meets TAA and buy America compliance. I’ve seen these cameras in the DoD and even in the oval office. If you want a camera that is absolutely not spying on you I can vouch for these because I have watched the firmware get built on these.

The reMarkable runs on Linux too! It’s an eink paper tablet

model_tar_gz,

Hate them or love them, Teslas are run on Linux.

model_tar_gz,

Apparently most of their code is not open source.

Hotzilla,

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

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.
