    Read an article some years back about someone installing Linux on a hard drive.

    Not on a computer with a hard drive. On the embedded ARM core inside the hard drive. One of them anyways, I think this particular hard drive had three CPUs inside it actually.

    I once saw someone running Doom on a pregnancy tester, so I’d imagine that it could run Linux as well.

      I saw that too, but it was a bit misleading. The pregnancy tester for some reason had a pretty high resolution monochrome OLED display, so the guy used the tester’s display to show the Doom graphics. The actual device running Doom was a more powerful microcontroller external to the tester stick.
