It gives the reader some context. Many of the readers of this will have had the unfortunate experience of trying to watch an in flight movie on a Linux in seat entertainment system. Fewer will have used the Square POS system, particularly the new one.
- glenra 8y agoHow would anyone know what OS their in-seat entertainment system uses? I've watched the inflight movie on a wide variety of systems on varying airlines and I don't recall the experience ever being branded in that way.
- sigstoat 8y agoif you're watching when they reboot (which is not uncommon when you're on the ground), you'll usually spot a tux or two up in the top left corner of the screen, followed by high-speed kernel messages before their app takes over.
- a-dub 8y agofun fact: the virgin america systems had little keyboards on the remotes and you could kill/restart the X server with ctrl-alt-backspace you could also switch to a console with ctrl-alt-f*. was never able to login though...
- nkozyra 8y agoIt's a weird comment either way, because having a bad experience on the inflight entertainment system has nothing to do with the underlying OS.
