I just visited a customer I had designed a Fedora 30 server. That makes the computer eleven years old! I do not dare upgrade or even install updates it as the point-of-sale software he is running a YUGE nasty K-L- U-G-E.
T,
What's the extent of what the point-of-sale tracks? Does it handle payment processing?
I know in for computer-based POS systems around here they are very strict on how out-of-date we're allowed to be on our OS's. It's fairly forgiving, but still not great -- usually 2-3 annual updates (Windows 21H2, 22H2, etc. etc.).
