Informally, walking through anybody’s house, I can find dozens of linux devices. They’re just white label. Your digital thermostat? Linux. Washing machine? Linux. Wi-Fi access point? Linux. ISP issued CPE? Linux. Switch? Linux
Audio mixing board? Linux …
Intel management engine… minux, so basically Linux.
Is this just desktops?

not to mention…Every 5G iPhone has modem firmware running linux.
and of course every Android phone.
But yes anything else with an IP address that’s not a Windows/Mac/BSD computer… likely Linux.
Prolly desktops on the internet which don’t block too many trackers
Minix definitely isn’t linux.
Yes, this is based on desktop use.
A lot of those are running either minix, BSD, or some other ultralightweight OS. and those are definitely not Linux. Not even close.
Minux has not been updated in 10 years. It should not be used on anything connected to the internet.
Most “ultralight stripped down OS” will be built from linux these days. Usually Tiny Core Linux or Alpine.
