I don’t know if it’s just me that find it highly interesting that they choose to run Windows for these kind of things? Anyone able to elaborate the reasons for this? Surely this just costs them so much extra having to buy licenses for each of these screens…?

Please do correct me or clarify this for me 🌻

    Linux isn’t free at the enterprise level. You aren’t just downloading a Linux flavor and slapping it on everything. There’s going to be a support contract to cover if something weird happens an expert is on site to help fix it within 24hrs. There’s going to be guarantees that if software does x it will work even with future os updates. Replacement hardware will be available and compatible as well.
