It's literally in every display you see in the world. OEMs stopped fucking with Windows years ago. Go to any fast food restaurants with those vertical displays? Linux. Check-in kiosks that have been deployed in the past 5 years? Linux. Your router, most platforms you interact with online, media devices, cars (they should be using RTOS, but many use Debian), movie theaters, POS systems... Linux is the most deployed OS on this planet by far. I'm kind of annoyed when people don't realize this. I actually hate when engineers are just letting a desktop sit like this. It's sloppy and unnecessary.

Linux is pretty common in embedded devices. For example information screens in buses in my city (Kraków) which display stuff like next stops, OSM map, time, etc. run some kind of customized Linux distribution I think, and you can often see bunch of Tuxes along with console output when it boots up.

With Microsoft destroying it's reputation for very long device support, I can only imagine they've also destroyed all trust in them from the embedded devices and outdoors hardware industry. These machines don't get a lot of updates and it would suck to have to throw them away because software support ended.

In my city's history, there's a TV that has a TV box running Ubuntu. It's always on the home screen

Knowing Canonical and Ubuntu it is probably still suported and it will be for the next decade.

Hey, it’s not a blue screen of death, is it? Nothing is fucked up there. Except some incompetent fucker using Ubuntu for no real reason.
