Year of Linux on the Beach confirmed
Don't forget to keep code up to date. Even with a cold beverage in hand
The Year of Linux on the Beach has officially commenced at the Spanish resort town of Lloret de Mar. A digital sign, spotted by Rich Skuse, prominently displays Ubuntu and Firefox logos along with an invitation to update the operating system. The sign, part of the Passeig d Agustí Font, likely enjoys a steady Internet connection, making the update imminent.
However, it's uncertain whether beachgoers, eager to soak up the sun and enjoy sangria, will prioritize maintaining their Linux systems over leisure activities. Lloret de Mar recently underwent renovations to become a more modern, sustainable, and accessible tourist destination. This includes a new regulation limiting alcohol sales at beach bars to one liter per container.
While the exact cause of the sign's update status remains unclear, it's clear that for many visitors, the last thing on their minds is troubleshooting a borked Linux installation.
