at least it’s linux
Likely, but not necessarily. The grand unified bootloader boots a great many things.
There is more in heaven and earth than is dreamt of in your man pages.

I might be getting whooshed but uh, it’s a riff on a line from Hamlet iirc
“There is more between heaven and earth than are dreamt of in your philosophies”
I worked at Burger King back in like, 2010 and all the cash registers were running Linux. But I can’t speak for the entire country/world.
The first time I looked at this, when it was posted, I failed to recognize that “grub” is a slang word for food.
I used to know that, and I knew it for most of my life. I think it got pushed out by some stupid video I watched, or maybe a meme.
Kind of weird how GRUB is “BURG” backwards…
BURG stands for Boot UR GRUB
And GRUB stands for GRand Unified BURGer
This made me think of Mitch Hedbergs escalator joke.
“I like the escalator, man, 'cause the escalator can never break. It can only become stairs. There would never be an ‘Escalator Temporarily Out of Order’ sign, only an ‘Escalator Temporarily Stairs - Sorry for the Convenience.’”
Escalator breaking in such a way that it goes way too quickly could make it unusable.
True. Though that’s much more isolated. Typically criminal negligence is involved. Though early escalators were always slightly scarry meat grinders.
Yeah I don’t fuck around with out of order escalators if I can avoid it. I’ve seen too many internet videos.
They have exactly two failure modes. Become stairs and become horror movie.

At the station it became apparent that a few of the escalators were working again by now. However, some entrypoints remained closed off.
And a few months later:
Is this Burger King?
No, this is GRUB!
I wonder how many non tech people thought it was their new slogan.
Welcome…
To zombocom…
I hope they can restore the original
In the meantime
GRUBER KING
From now on eating fast food will be known as “grub loading”.
At least they’re doing one thing right.
Well, I’m at least glad to see that their sign isn’t running Windows.
Grub can even boot windows. It just doesn’t come with the standard windows installer.
Yeah, but in general, people who run Windows don’t use Grub.
It can boot windows, but really shouldn’t.
…so linux crashed and rebooting here?
Errmm. I’m told that Linux does not crash.
You have been told wrong. I’ve been using Linux for about 20 years now, and while it doesn’t crash as often as windows, I’ve certainly had my share of Linux crashes.
Maybe there was a power outage. There’s a good chance this is in the US of A. Maybe a geoguesser can confirm the location.
