NAND is the new industry standard, but most embedded systems, several billion units, produced in the early 2010s were powered by NOR flash, and many use Linux. One example was the vast majority of home routers. I once replaced the 4 MiB NOR flash in my home router to 16 MiB for OpenWrt (yes, you can run Linux with 4 MiB of NOR flash, this configuration was officially supported by OpenWrt until it's retired in 2019).
