Clarification in this report <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BD85fjdYL4I>: it’s the helicopter drone that is running Linux -- the rover itself still runs whatever it is NASA has used before. Seems the capabilities they wanted to implement on the Qualcomm Snapdragon processor in the drone weren’t available in any proprietary OS, so they had to go with Linux.
