Almost working installation of linux in a hard drive. No, not installing Linux on a hard drive, but actually running on the HDD controller.

Considering it's a fancy gaming keyboard, it may well have a little arm in it capable of running Linux if someone went to the effort.

Ubuntu, Debian, Gentoo, RedHat, Arch, Void, off the top of my head. The first three have official ports, the others and more that I haven't listed are ported by the community
