gollark: Weird how thin clients are increasingly becoming the trendy thing again, but in a different way to what people presumably thought.

gollark: My Kindle (the e-ink kind, not the android tablets) actually runs Linux using X, the "awesome" window manager, and some sort of vaguely horrible GUI which seems to be made with HTML/CSS/JS.
gollark: There's probably some window manager thing for single-purpose systems.
