Linux doesn't even properly work on legacy non-x86 devices. NetBSD for m68k runs much better than GNU/Linux.

EDIT: Downvote me if you want, but the reality is that hard.

You have to use specific distros and hard patches to get things running well. For example under PPC32 there's no support for common distros.

Don't let me start on Mips, Sparc or Alpha, where NetBSD runs on it just fine.
