Flew on a 787 recently, they had a problem with the IFE system and rebooted it; it's Linux. Recognised the default X11 cursor straight away and was even able to move it around with my touchscreen before it disappeared and their UI came up.

That plane had a USB port by each screen too; I didn't have any peripherals to test if it interfaced though.
