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.

In 2025 we boot a whole Linux system to display a logo.
Does it run Wayland? :P

Knbd of discriminatory, what about the right??
Dozzi92@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
The right potato will work just fine.
bampop@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
We’re not excluding that, it’s between the left testicle and the potato

still windows

That one runs BSD.

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.
ByteJunk@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
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.

Advertising.

I’ve seen a very similar print out when installing/loading Arch for the first time.
ByteJunk@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
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.
