Most smart devices actually run on Linux due to how flexible and lightweight it is.
Thank God for someone like Linus Torvalds being in the right place at the right time, just before the "internet of things" became a thing.
In a somewhat roundabout way, I wonder whether it is precisely because of people like him that IoT could become a thing (and that’s not a criticism or blaming of him)
