  I’ve never seen one of these, but I assume it performs other functions - surely monitoring sensors, probably reporting that data, maybe allowing triggering maintenance functions, etc.

  That said, processing and storage is so cheap on this scale that it’s probably better (and cheaper) to go with a tried and true, widely supported system, than it is to optimize with custom hardware/firmware.

    I’ve seen a very similar print out when installing/loading Arch for the first time.

      I meant the machine itself! The print out is your typical systemd boot, though they’re usually covered by a distro splash but it can be disabled.

  a whole linux system isn’t even all that crazy. if it runs doom it can probably also run linux so probably everything from a potato to a dog’s left testicle can run linux.

    Knbd of discriminatory, what about the right??

      The right potato will work just fine.

      We’re not excluding that, it’s between the left testicle and the potato

      Dog’s right testicles are running Java

        So that’s why it keeps swelling and needs constant purging of all that pus.

  It actually does, if you zoom in closely.

  Wouldn’t be surprised if they ran animated splash.

  Hell, wouldn’t be surprised if they started pushing ads through the screens.

  I feel like that isn’t that far fetched, considering this machine probably has some sort of Internet connectivity so you can update the labels remotely and do other remote maintenance/monitoring tasks.
