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

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.
