I always find it funny when people do that with Windows, Mac, and Linux. It completely misses the fact that Linux can be all of these things.

Also, all three pictured devices are probably running Linux... Or at least could.

    More likely running Wind River's VxWorks. Which, as far as I know is the big dog in the RTOS space. The OS being deterministic is super important in safety critical applications like flight computers and cars. Wind River does have a linux distro, but I don't think VxWorks is. Although, they've kind of got caught being complacent and others are moving into the space like Red Hat In Vehicle Operating System.

    For a few brief beautiful moments, I assumed you were talking about the firmware running on the Fisher Price toy.

    As your answer included more details, my understanding became a delightful confusion and then realization.
