Why do people use Windows for these displays?

[–] DoYouNot@lemmy.world 10 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (6 children)

What else could you possibly use? Mac? We all know mac is too expensive. Windows is the cheapest option. Nothing cheaper. Yessir. They're not fancy -they just need a simple Windows license and some up-to-date, current gen hardware to run that display...

e: (/s, because even the most obvious sarcasm seems to need a label)

A custom made Linux distro that starts a x server with a single program open would probably do it

Afaik there are already kiosk display Linux distros.
