    Hey guys,
    I went to Best Buy to get some wireless headphones for my wife/look at Switch games (and Amiibos) and noticed their Switch kiosk wasn't operating and had a failed Raspberry Pi boot screen on it.

    Not unlike the early Wii U Kiosks running Ubuntu. Though the Switch Kiosk isn't playable, just shows videos so this isn't too -earthshattering- by any means, but a fun curiosity.

    So I guess the question is what made it kernel panic? It just plays a short video the whole time doesn't it?

    If I remember correctly, yeah. As for the kernel panic, I have absolutely no idea but I'd love for the idiot Best Buy employees try to figure out how to fix it.

    I wonder why they only have these video kiosks and not playable systems.

    OH How I hate Retro Pie. I put Lakka on mine. Once I free up some plugs on my power strip, it's on.
