Well, the Dreamcast retro gaming scene doesn't run on Linux, does it, so not particularly relevant to the topic of which architectures Linux supports? Still kinda cool, I would have expected Dreamcast to be long gone and forgotten.

(Likewise the above-mentioned xtensa is ubiquitous in the 'maker scene' thanks to the ESP8266/ESP32 family of chips, but those don't run Linux so again not particularly relevant to this discussion. And as a side-note, it seems Expressif is transitioning to RISC-V cores.)

No, but Linux does run on the Dreamcast hardware due to a community effort (with recent updates!): http://linuxdc.sourceforge.net/

Game console homebrew is a weird place. I've noticed substantial *N64* support patches going into mainline during 5.x. Not sure what they were going for, but that's pretty cool.
