Only a few days ago we had Linux on the Mega Drive, and someone took that as a challenge, so now we have Linux on the Atari Jaguar. The Jaguar has a very different architecture than the Mega Drive, but does happen to use a processor from the same 68000-family.
Interestingly enough, to this day, Linux has architecture code for the 68000-family of processors. 68040, 68030, 68010… and even the original base 68000 processor. All neatly structured under

And, well, that means Linux can indeed be made to work on the Jaguar, with some hacking and magic, of course.
Considering that even Doom run on Jaguar, and a stripped Linux can even run on 8086 : https://github.com/ghaerr/elks
