I happened to come into possession of some Jade wallets, I have no interest in cryptocurrency, and am assuming there is no funds on them as they came in sealed packaging, they were an abandoned package at my workplace. I am curious since it is “open source” software if I can put some different software on it (i.e. run doom) or use it as a mini camera. Apologies if this is the wrong sub for this, but would appreciate if there I could get guidance on where to go to ask this question.

Bitcoin ≠ cryptocurrency.
Read up a little about Bitcoin and you might be surprised.
You can always start with Satoshi’s original whitepaper: https://bitcoin.org/bitcoin.pdf.
The original nature and motivation of Bitcoin is often shrouded in all the crypto noise today by projects that do not respect this, but Bitcoin remains true to its original purpose as a peer-to-peer, electronic cash system, albeit more used as digital gold today.
But regarding your question directly: you’ll probably have a hard time doing anything with these directly. Yes, the software is open-source, but the hardware is quite specialised, given the necessity to store private keys securely.
And there’s no camera on there, lol!
