Thanks for sharing, always nice to see!

But nowadays I'd be surprised if one of these display devices ran Windows or some similar crap that is NOT Linux.

Ubuntu/Canonical did, imho, the right thing to offer paid support for what is otherwise a free OS. That's what companies care for, that cannot afford a full IT employee or even department. Of course Redhat et. al. also offer that but Ubuntu seems more suitable for smaller solutions?

I doubt those companies can afford paid support from the likes of Cannonical and Red Hat - their licenses are solely for other at-scale companies to write off expenses and shift blame if something hits the fan.
