I wonder if Wendy’s donates back to the project. Ive seen so many companies use Foss software and not pay anything and it pisses me off every time.
Seems a bit heavy to use full Ubuntu for a single application appliance, but I guess it’s still probably better than Windows.

I’ve been seeing it pop up more in embedded/PC based devices. Seems to be replacing Windows XP and the other embedded Windows versions. Guess Microsoft wants too much for those licenses.
I used to run 8.1 embedded as my desktop and honestly if my exoerience with it was anything to go by windows embedded has been only requiring more resources while losing features that make having a separate embedded edition make sense.
kwik trip’s self-serve ‘fresh blends’ smoothie machines use it. see one crashed every now and then here.
TIL one Wendy’s uses Ubuntu
I had a frosty once
Ubuntu for a kiosk is really dumb though. I guess it’s still better than windows.
They ship a kiosk specific build if I remember correctly
i mean linux is linux if its only booting up to display video or a simple interaction panel
