What would be an alternative?
some custom made Linux distro that only displays one program
Very easy to do actually, easier than maintaining windows I would think...
But if it breaks can I send it into xyz computer repair? They only fix windows machines.
The screen company should have their own it to fix stuff as the only thing they do is sell the ad software
What else are they going to run that has all the same features and programs?
Linux.
How is touch screen support on Linux? I haven't read about it in years now
works pretty well with most generic touch screens
That's good to hear. I looked at installing Linux on an old 2 in 1 laptop I had with minimal storage but apparently there was issues with the touchscreen implementation. Maybe I'll have to look into it again
I'm running Sparky on my ancient laptop, a weird Debian-based lightweight distro, and touch works as good as windows after a little setup.
