From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Nothing too crazy, bus information table running Linux Mint:
Some of them (run) Windows. You can identify those based on:

Windows ones are fun. I especially love it when the McDonald's terminal bug checks, and safe boots into a desktop. Or when the train station terminal app crashes, and an employee restarts the app remotely. Or that time when someone hacked into terminals at a particular train station, and played porn. Some people weren't amused.
