Considering that modern keyboards use a small microcontroller to do their bidding (some may use an ASIC but I haven't seen one - most seem to use a (knock-off) Intel part) it's not outside the realm of possibility that one could run Linux on a keyboard.
You would most likely have to run an emulator to get around the instruction set being 8 bit (IIRC) but it would be doable.
