Provide a better screenshot i cant see shit on the other monitors.
Although it looks like the xfce window manager on some of them

i don't know what it is but most of these computers aren't running windows

no dumbasses its CERN Centos 7

linuxsoft.cern.ch/

no, it's not.

judjing by the high res picture, two are running windows seven (login screen) the others could either be running some unix OS (the task bar looks like CDE), or more probably a custom software in full screen on top of windows 7 (pretty common in research/industry).

here is what looks like a unix OS, with an old style taskbar/dock

here is windows 7 login screen

anyway, none of them is running centOS/Gnome

From my experience with another science group, they use whatever the fuck they need to in order to solve a particular problem

I suspect they are lizard people

Majority of Sup Forums uses it. Are you some returning oldfag?

they also pray and follow a demon and dance naked under the full moon.

Degenerates, all of them.

>CDE
isn't that abandonware?

CERN may run windows, but do they run task manager fullscreen 24/7? Didn't think so.

Like any intelligent people.
brand fanatics are cancer and should just die.

oh fuck, they're sending jelly images to me

what's with the booze?

lizard people

They use Scientific Linux, based on red hat enterprise. I've asked to them directly when I went there last year

Proof about it:
distrowatch.com/table.php?distribution=scientific

Any gel bananas?

That's obviously windows 7 with the classic theme, with grouping items turned off. You can easily see the "show desktop icon" in the tray. He's also running a java application using the java metal theme, you can tell by the min/max/close buttons).

You guys are fucking terrible at identifying UIs.

cern uses human sacrifice

Most control systems run windows. Most integrators can't even use Linux. Most companies can find different people that know what PLCs are and how to use ladder logic. Asking them to find ones that can also use Linux is impossible. Although I know nothing about Europe.

>CERN uses windows
Ok. No wonder we don't hear much about it anymore these days.

That's because they already achieved their goal

Some of the front-end boxes are Windows. The servers are all unix/linux.

They use a mix of scientific linux and an in-house modified version of windows, depending on what they need to run.

The CERN Control Centre (where they control the accelerators, in ) uses a mix of mostly Linux (CERN CentOS 7) machines and a few Windows 7 machines for some specialist tasks, mostly related to technical infrastructure rather than accelerator operations.

I can't vouch for other other experiments, but the LHCb control room has almost entirely Linux machines now, save for one or two Windows machines right in the middle running some obscure infrastructure software.

>in-house modified version of windows,
Rubbish. They don't have source code repository access (only governments do, and they sign off that access is strictly read only).

The only 'modifications' they make are from a MIS perspective, i.e. group policy and registry changes

As people have said here, they use a custom Linux distro but use windows desktops for general computing such as web browsing, because they're not autistic like people here and didn't insist on using Linux just /because/ it's Linux, but because in scientific applications it's the best choice, like how windows is the best choice for general desktop work.

Good luck finding industrial controller drivers written for Linux by the way. Any large manufacturing company will have a fleet of windows machines running production processes.

looks like a mix of windows 7 and cern centos

Pretty much all of the physicists work on laptops with either Mac OS or whatever flavour of Linux they want. The main analysis package (ROOT) isn't even released for Windows anymore.

A lot of industrial control uses RTOSes.

That's kinda... It would wait a little bit.

Now whole system is laging as fuck.

From my time in Cern, the main thing I noticed was the extensive use of VLC to stream video on the local network. The level to which they run it is uncanny, half of the monitors run VLC with a stream of something they need to see.

but NASA switched to loonix

There's literally a Mac in that picture. They use many OSes.

thanks for already making my 2018

>all of them are fucked by meltdown
Intel is new enemy of science. What a twist

Where dis

Alcoholic fuckers

Yeah back in 2012 when they created a black hole and moved us all to the new earth creating the Mandela effect in the process.

>A lot of industrial control uses RTOSes.
That's right, in fact I shouldn't have said 'drivers' but 'software'. A lot of industrial controllers have embedded RTOS' in them, but the software to communicate with it is often windows based.

I had experience at a radio station, the transmitter equipment was all RTOS based but to set it up the GUI was Windows based.

As an IT drone I can confirm this.
Fucking unbelievable

>Internet explorer icon
lmao and people think this is unix

why should they care? its not like someone can cause any damage since the grid data is read only to them

Clearly its the choice of Steins Gate

haHAHAh

secret GADGE%TS lab

yojw will suffer yhe penalty for messing WITH CIERN

CERN IS GTREAT

There isn't a single CDE/Unix system in any of these shots, it's all Linux/Windows 7
NASA and the ESA both are/were heavy Solaris users, though, plus a Windows system here and there.

The ESA control centers you can find public shots of seem to be primarily built with Sun Rays.

Same with JPL, or they had some Blade 100/150s hiding under the desks.

This old photo looks like a mixture of early '90s Pizzabox/Lunchbox SPARCstations, a couple whitebox AT clones and a single Mac SE doing... something.

What looks probably some more Blade 1x0s/Sun Rays

This must be the same place now, or something similar.

Here's an old CERN shot that looks like a mixture of Windows XP and Linux

thank you for posting this marvelous pic
this is the kind of stuff i expect to see on Sup Forums
not manbabies fighting over operating systems lmao

Thank you for not bullying me for being an autistic retard.

Each station in this picture has a Windows XP/7 system attached to the central monitor but I have no idea what runs the status displays, they look like they have Motif window decorations in close-ups so perhaps they're attached to a Solaris system running mwm or more likely some kind of Linux with fvwm or some other basic window manager, or maybe an RTOS, or maybe just some custom software running full-screened. It beats me.

Forgot the picture, because I'm gay.

CentOS is primarily a server OS. I doubt they'll use it as a desktop.

CentOS is frequently used on workstations, too.

The CERN stuff looks like a snorefest to me, pretty much a pure PC Linux shop with Windows thrown in occasionally. Their central computer centre used to look so cool, too.

Boring. Monitor arrangements are kind of neat, I guess. No idea what's running in here.

nothing is running its all read only for the user

There's a reason why it's called VLC in the first place.

I was more getting at what kind of operating systems they're running. Don't see what you mean by "read-only" also, the content on the upper displays? Guess it would make sense since they seem independent of the lower two.

The keyboards and Motif applications are a dead giveaway that this ESA control room is pretty much completely Solaris. You can also barely see all of the Sun Rays stuffed into the racks under the desks, with their smart card readers glowing.

>CERN uses windows
Of course they do. They don't fall for the l33t hacker os meme

Aren't they one of the contributors to Scientific Linux?

I want to the CERN last year and they use literally every OS (even macOS but for laptop). Linux is the most used OS there but you don't really see it, you must be in the tech/server area to see it (where all the supercomputers are running the simulations and the database). Windows is only used in the controls room or for communications.
Their ecosystem is shit but if they have a little problem they can literally call a good technician.

They drink a lot in there

The ride just never fucking ends does it

>A lot of industrial control uses RTOSes.

Yeah I'm somewhat shocked by my experience here
>Highly resiliant industrial hardware
>Some minimal platform on an RTOS

>Please downgrade your Java or this will nullpointerexception all over your face
>Even when the environment is supported, it shits out often

Definitively a trend setter in control room design. Wow!

How to tell if your favourite display runs windows.

Very Large Cone?

CERN uses a ton of stuff, and have a huge number of orgs using the things they produce. I'd be shocked if any is made in the past 30 years wasn't in use are cern somewhere.

kek

a e s t h e t i c

Physicists use both Linux and Windows depending on the software they need.

True. They'll build a gate to the demonic realm and we all get demons summoning programs thanks to Stephen Hawking

we will*

Why is there so much alcohol?

>mfw CERD will be responsible for IRL Doom

rip and tear

this As a former lab rat I plusone to this. In my lab there was (as for 2012) :
win7 for PhD students
win7 for most researchers
winXP for trainee students
macOS8 on an old imac g3 nobody uses
win XP for hplc/cytometers/...
win98 on one old machine
winNT4 on one very old shared machine
centOS for IT guy
ubuntu for the cleaning lady (not even kidding)
mac osx for the 2 boss to brag on congress

It was a reference to shin megami tensei, but both are great games

I also fucking love science!!!

That doesn't even look like windows, idiot.

There's no IE icon there. Are you fucking blind?
