that’s systemd, not a bootloader
Gimmie some of that ‘bootloader blue’ slurpee
Systemd having a special it seems
Its the underlying filesystem
Under where?

This image was seared into my memory 20+ years ago (maybe I saw it first in a PC magazine?) & has never left it, not even for a moment.
(Wait, was it all penguin propaganda all long?? Is this why I like foss?)
There are many reasons to enjoy being nerdy.
Nudity is merely one of them.

Exactly!

longand nerd is what I always say.

Lemmy moment
Excuse you I’m on piefed >.>
Which is spelled pieced but pronounced Lemmy. Everyone knows that.
At least it’s not too grubby
Start plasmashell
Why exactly does this need to run a full OS?
Right? Could just use a microcontroller for each individual screen and then a separate PC to update each microcontroller if needed.
“Why make it simpler when you can make it harder?” 😬
Probably so they can easily swap out flavors or mark OUT or OUT OF SERVICE, etc
If you’re swapping flavors (which won’t happen often) your already having to clean it. Swapping out the button insert isn’t a big ask. This doesn’t solve anything a physical sign could do better.
You’re right, in just speculating why a screen could be there. Seems overkill, even if it ran the icee machine itself
Define full OS
One Hannah short of perfection.
Ads.
Maybe a button or two to initiate the machine cloaca to piss into the cup?
Boot
mountThat storage is riding the struggle bus
BSOD: the Blue Slurpee of Death
Oh hell ya! Linux boot screen is my favorite flavor.
Call the slurpadmin.
This is weird to see so many things needing to be a screen…
that seems, inefficient
Imagine having an old Slurpee machine Kubernetes cluster
I bet the actual logo display is a full screen browser too, multiple computers each running chrome just to display ads.
That was pretty close to my first thought, too
