France loves open source so much, even its cinema borks have Linux behind the scenes



Our scribe was off to see the latest Denis Villeneuve effort rather than the delightfully barking mad David Lynch film of 1984. Although we'd have to recommend a viewing of Jodorowsky's Dune to get a real feeling for what might have been, 1970s-style.
As for the bork, well, it seems the animated screens in Dabbs' flick palace are running Linux (Ubuntu, we'd wager). Almost invisible is the unmistakable tab of TeamViewer. The near ubiquitous VLC player is dealing with MP4 playback and could that be Xfce taking care of the desktop duties?
Either way, the Status Notifier Plugin is clearly not happy about something, having endured a few restarts before the prompt to either restart once more or get rid of the thing entirely.
Sadly, there is no device attached for the user to put the component out of its misery, meaning that IMAX triptych will remain partially obscured.
