Because famously you can get Doom to run on things with a screwdriver.

on a screwdriver.

Well you need the screwdriver (with the smorx 5omble bit) to open the maintenance panel and access the button you hold while booting to get the unlocked bootloader, so you can install Linux and then subsequently doom.

Elementary.

He means he got doom running on that screwdriver

You joke, but the ES121 screwdriver has an open source firmware. I think it's running an STM32F10x (based on the file listings in the firmware). People have gotten Doom to run on an STM32F429, so it's not that far fetched.

Yes, because first I need to disassemble the target device.

Yes, as long as its a sonic screwdriver.
