Playstation 2 supported Linux and it ran MIPS, which was the architecture used in SGI Indigo systems, perhaps most famously seen in Jurassic Park’s “it’s a UNIX system” scene.
It seems that even Playstation One has an (early) public Linux port.
I mean… Yes… But you wouldn’t be able to run steam or install games designed for the PC platform on the hardware, which is what the 8th generation consoles (at least a hacked PS4, Xbox 1 is unhacked) are able to do. I suppose even with that in mind, the Original Xbox and PS2 would count because Doom, but still.
I wouldn’t limit it to x86 though.

There is no right answer of course. :)

There was a doom port I think.
Of course there soon was a doom port for pretty much everything, so it’s not saying much.
