Well, this is a Linux initialization screen, but ok.

So it tastes like Mint?
Systemd specifically I believe.
I don't see anything there specific to systemd, but I can actually read very little of it.
I believe the formatting may be unique to systemd though I've only ever seen one setup without it boot. Also some of the lines seem to start with 'Systemd'.
Mmmm...Kernel panic...
i had a cousin try the bios flavor and now hes terminal
At least he didn’t get the SIGHUPs from drinking too fast.
As much as I love the Raspberey Pi, I really wish every company didn’t make it the goal to shoehorn them into places they don’t belong. This could have just been a static image. Don’t even really need a light behind it.
There’s a tiny camera in there, doing facial scans and building a biometric database for the eventual rollout of that famous 4chan greentext where you have to slam a mountain dew to play video games.
I kinda doubt these are pis. Maybe pi zeros. But more likely they are one of the myriad of off the shelf Atmel or similar embedded SOCs. Like the kind you find in a Roku.
In many cases a raspberry pi could be cheaper here.
Cheaper than plastic screen printed static images? God I hope not.
I meant compared to other digital solutions.
Keep in mind that for printed images you would still need a quality printer with ink and decent paper. Your average printer and paper would probably not have the quality you'd want. Plus there's many other reasons to have something digital, such as an easy way to remotely update thousands of images because they changed a bit of the branding, graying out the image of a drink because it is not available, and most importantly you already need a processing unit for the rest of the stuff the machine does that would otherwise require custom printed PCBs.
So as I said, in many cases it will be cheaper.
Chain stores regularly get updated signage. This particular graphic would fit in an envelope. It's neither complicated nor unusual.
I'm really surprised every screen gets a whole computer. Why can't there be one feeding data to every screen? Seems like a massive waste.
I guess it's because of cheap modularity. Might be cheaper to make little modules that can be quickly replaced to repair. One little computer that has just enough power to run a single screen may be cheaper than a beefier computer to run multiple screens.
No single point of failure. Just toss a new Raspberry Pi in there and good to go.
Systemd-nied
That’s grubby flavour you philistine.
This post made me NULL EXCEPTION
Mmmmmmmm. Grub2
It tastes like blue rasberry, O-zone, and burning plastic.
The Blue Screen of Blue Drinks.
