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

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.
Are they really computers then?
Think of them like graphics cards. They are more of a component to do calculations that the cpu either can’t do, or would take too long to do. So calling something (the whole shebang) a quantum computer is like calling a computer training AI an ML Server.
In the classical sense, yes.
If Doom can run on pregnancy tests and IKEA light bulbs, it must be possible to run in on the most advanced kind of computer known to mankind I guess

Doom, yes.
Crysis?
maybe
Quantum computers aren't fast, they're very slow.
Eventually, if things keep progressing, they'll be able to do certain things like factoring primes faster than conventional computers. But, the clock rate will probably always be abysmal.
