If a toaster can run on Linux,
so can a calculator.
(NetBSD used to have that slogan with regards to toasters. I have not followed it for several years, so I don't know which operating system dominates toasters nowadays.)

In response to the joke about BSD running on a toaster, some joker created and documented a "toaster running BSD" which was accomplished by bypassing the toaster circuits and adding a motherboard with CPU, memory, storage and I/O.
Now those all make for good jokes, but it does not mean that toaster hardware is POSIX-ready, any more than a Macintosh SE is suitable as an aquarium.
But let us never forget that the Video Toaster runs with Amiga or Windows!
