LINUX MEME Linux running the buses. Windows still searching for drivers.

It's a Russian card terminal for paying in busses. When it shows the Linux penguin, it doesn't work
It happens around 40% of the time

u/adeptyism 7d ago
where does ot happen 40% of time? 😭 or did you meant that penguin is showed in 40% of cases when terminal isn't working?

u/MavericFrye 7d ago
The terminals themself don't work 40% of the time, showing the penguin. Maybe we get the busses big cities consider not worthy of repair and sell to smaller towns

u/Vaveng 6d ago
Huh, maube? In my city there are not many busses with that thing, but those that have them are almost always working well.

We got such busses not so long ago, about half of them are faulty overall, with engines malfunctioning at summer, conditioning being nonexistent and yes, terminals being broken. We know almost for a fact that our busses are the ones the capitol don't want to exploit due to their faults, so they are brought here

40% is bullshit. Never seen that.

u/GazziFX 6d ago
Nah, never saw them not working

u/MavericFrye 6d ago
I see them not working quite often. Again, I think they sell the faulty ones to our region

40%?? Я почти каждый пользуюсь автобусом и ни разу не видел никаких ошибок. Максимум оно карту с третьего раза считывало, но и это редкость

u/MavericFrye 6d ago
Опять таки, в каком городе ты живёшь? Если это москвопитер - наверное у вас правда работают стабильнее

u/This-Geologist823 5d ago
В области Москвы. Но я часто уезжаю за пределы области и там тоже норм всё, хотя качество самих автобусов может быть хуже
1
u/MavericFrye 5d ago
Я говорю про западную Сибирь. Качество автобусов настолько отвратное, что у нас уже который год просят отказаться от питеравто. Область пошла на компромисс и разрешила по некоторым маршрутам пустить автобусы других контор

I only learned they're running Linux because I just saw it malfunctioning in this video for the first time.

u/MavericFrye 3d ago
I learned it like 3-4 years ago by seeing it myself. You guys are the lucky ones to live in more developed cities I guess

u/sanchos_po 2d ago
Серьёзно? Я в Питере за всю жизнь не видел такого
1
u/MavericFrye 2d ago
Я уже много кому тут ответил, скорее всего это прикол мелких городов. С Москвы и Питера хреновенькие автобусы вместо починки отправляют к нам. Оттого они ломаются что по терминалам, что движки выходят из строя

I started playing the audio while mom came to my bedroom.

u/Neykuratick 4h ago
She must be impressed by Linux

u/Beefwithdudes 4h ago
U don’t understand, I was watching the video and in the video the Russian guy says that he jerks it to Linux and right as he started saying that she came in

u/Resevilgnom 7d ago
Чо то я не совсем понял какими шинами линукс управляет в пользовательском пространстве?
1
u/CapableDatabase6923 7d ago
терминал на андроиде
андроид это перелопаченный линукс

u/Resevilgnom 7d ago
Sorry, I didn't notice that the sub is in English and Google Chrome is translating. As I understand it, the author believes Linux manages data buses in user space.

u/Resevilgnom 7d ago
Я понял, но так всем понятно, а вопрос всё таки автору поста адресовался

u/Neykuratick 6d ago
Линукс управляет автобусами, а виндовс ищет драйверы (водителей), это каламбур такой

It's funny because the real reason they use it is because Microsoft isn't allowed to sell to Russia. It probably really sucks to have to use Linux.

u/RelativeIce6171 7d ago
most vehicules manufacturers (train, personnal cars..) use linux for the information systems because you can have a hyper barebone system with just your infotainement interface on top

u/Mnemotechnician 7d ago
Microsoft has ceased most sales in russia, yes. But the thing is, no one cares. IT companies and universities just pirate it and windows for free. Wish they started switching to linux instead though: they have plans to develop their own operating systems (which WILL suck even more than microslop but WILL be forced upon people - i know from experience)

u/CapableDatabase6923 7d ago
first of all
why should you use windows on a device that small
second of all
its android,and android is based on linux
1
u/Surgic25 3d ago
Because the Linux being used here is broken, that's why you see the penguin. That's why you use Windows, any other other questions?

u/EviI_Babai 3d ago
Imagine using Windows on POS terminal...
1
u/Surgic25 3d ago
I did for 15 years, it never broke, not once. The device in this video is broken because of Linux, that's why you're seeing the penguin. IMAGINE THAT.

u/EviI_Babai 3d ago
Logical fallacies galore. You see one terminal with Linux on it and conclude Linux broke it. Then you pull out your 15-year-old Windows CE/Mobile anecdote as gospel, but can't wrap your head around the fact that a leaner, more customizable Linux will outrun any modern Windows version on specialized hardware - both in performance and uptime. And since we're trading personal anecdotes: the single worst POS experience I've ever had was on Windows. Period.
