Lucas and Luna unpack how Linux has quietly become the dominant operating system in embedded systems — from smart thermostats to industrial controllers and automotive infotainment. They focus on the Yocto Project, which lets developers build custom Linux distributions for resource-constrained hardware, and cite data points like the 2025 Embedded Markets Study showing Linux now runs on 68 percent of embedded projects. The conversation also covers real-time Linux patches, the rise of Zephyr as a lightweight alternative, and why energy companies like Siemens and Bosch bet on open source for critical infrastructure. A specific angle: how the Yocto Project's layer model simplifies hardware abstraction, saving engineering teams months of bring-up time. No broad Linux history — just the concrete reasons Linux is eating the embedded world.
