😳 tfw you find out your literal window runs linux

even windows doesn't run windows

Meanwhile, on c/technology there is another thread on how linux should ditch the terminal (for some reason).
- That's insane, neither mac nor windows have gotten rid of their CLI, why would linux? That's a damn microsoft psyop to keep customers scared of linux I swear!
- Go on, create a GUI-only boot process if you like to.

Is this a windshield HUD or what the hell am I looking at (other than Linux running on Windows)?
That looks super fucking clean. The last time I saw anything about car HUDs was years ago, and they were a bit blurry. Is this like an actual screen or just a projected image?
- Yeah, it's the HUD of an Audi E-tron. I was sitting in the parking lot adjusting the settings when I saw a licensing disclosure for the hud in that menu. Turns out, based on the copyright it runs Redhat Linux, which is kinda funny since it's meant as a literal window computer.
  
  Have added android auto to my Q7, it also runs a Linux flavour on the MMI, was done over usb and ethernet through the center console, simply a shell after connecting!
  
  Probably Yocto based.
  Newer models use android
  
  Which E-tron? The original SUV? Are you happy with it?
  I test drove a 55, was super happy with the powertrain, felt meh about the infotainment and didn't like the interior much, BUT it was a Bolt short term rental, not a particular car I was looking at buying, so I reckon it probably had the minimum spec seats and such. They were cloth and uncomfortable. Likely leather and higher optioned seats would be nicer. I also love that E-Trons have heat pumps, it's kind of a requirement for an EV in the Estonian climate.
  Overall what I felt really weird about was the suspension. It had air suspension, but it did not, even in comfort mode, feel like a plush ride at all. Is that to be expected of E-Trons? Would I be better off just getting an ICE powered 5-series or E-Class for ride quality? Or maybe it was just an example with worn-out suspension, since it sees daily abuse from people test driving it...

I installed Linux on windows
... what?
- He installed Linux IN windows
  
  Linux system requirements:
  \ computer (optional)
  \ electricity (optional)
  \ window (optional)
- WSL IRL

I’m going to need an assist. What am I looking at?
- Heads up display in an Audi E-tron (the open source license citing Redhat)
  
  Is it just a mirrored/inverted display facing upwards under the windscreen glass?
  I used to do that with my old smartphone. It had a "HUD mode" where the whole screen became mirrored, then you just slide the phone to the end of your dash, and boom you've got a google maps HUD.
  
  Oh super neat! It’s interesting it’s not Android based. Most car systems run on it these days.
  
  Huh… didn’t even know they were putting HUDs in cars now. Guess that’s how it goes when you’re driving a car from 2007 with no intention to replace it till it dies.
  
  I tough it a Counter Strike screen shot lmao.
  
  Man if I survive to 2028, and have any money left, those cars are sexy
- Your screen.
- A window
  
  Technically a windscreen, but we're gonna give it a pass for the memery, right? 👉👈
- I have no idea. I thought this was a video game screenshot at first
